Initially, the perpetrators entered the petrol station employee quarters. After successfully gaining entry, they proceeded to a room where several SPBU employees were resting.
During the incident, five SPBU employees became victims of violence as the gang attempted to break into the safe. One victim, identified as M (62), attempted to resist but was attacked, suffering a wound on his left hand. He was also bound with adhesive tape.
Another victim, B (49), was kicked and beaten by the perpetrators.
“The other victims, namely A (24), M (44), and H (53), had their heads covered with blankets and were bound using cable, tape, and raffia rope,” said Sumarni.
After rendering the victims helpless, the perpetrators proceeded to the cash storage safe in the petrol station area and damaged it.

“There is one iron safe that has been damaged, a toy pistol, black tape, cable, and a ladder that was allegedly used by the perpetrators to enter through the rear of the petrol station area,” said Sumarni.
As a result of the incident, the petrol station’s sales revenue, estimated at hundreds of millions of rupiah, was stolen.
