Motorcycle Theft Base Raided in Bogor; Suspect Arrested While Using Crystal Meth

Police raided several locations suspected of being bases for motorcycle theft gangs in the Cileungsi area of Bogor, West Java. The first raid took place in Jonggol.

“During the raid, two people suspected of being perpetrators managed to escape, while one of their associates was detained,” Cileungsi Police Chief Commissioner Edison said on Saturday (7 November 2026).

Edison said there was a pursuit when police raided the location. The suspected motorcycle thieves were using crystal meth when they were arrested.

“Regrettably, when the site was raided, the man was suspected of holding a crystal meth party. Officers then searched the location and found several items of evidence,” he said.

The items included T-shaped keys and a methamphetamine pipe. Police then continued the raids at a second location.

“At a different location the following day, the team took action against another suspected motorcycle thief in Gandoang, Cileungsi district,” he added.

After arresting the suspect, police searched the seat of the motorcycle he was using and found a T-shaped key. They also found a motorcycle suspected of having been stolen.

“The suspect was promptly taken to Cileungsi Police Station for further questioning. Based on the initial examination, the suspect admitted to having stolen motorcycles several times, both in Cileungsi and Jonggol,” he said.

Police are continuing to investigate and develop the case. The two other people who escaped remain at large.
