Police Probe Alleged Model Robbery in West Jakarta: No Report Yet

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The police are still probing the truth of a viral social media post alleging a robbery that befell a model identified by the initials ADV in the roadside area of Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta. Police chief of Kebon Jeruk, Kompol Nur Aqsha, said they faced several obstacles due to the lack of an official report from the victim and limited credible information about the scene of the incident.

“Well, it is still being investigated because we have not found a clear source, who uploaded the first A1 source and the chronology. It is still being investigated,” Aqsha told Kompas.com by phone on Tuesday (19 May 2026).

When asked about the possibility of officers proactively visiting the victim’s home, Aqsha said that could not be done yet because the model’s exact identity is still unknown.

“Yes, we do not yet know who the victim is; is it really her or who, you know. We must confirm that the information is valid or not. Not yet certain, so we are still conducting the inquiry,” he said.

“But we must address public concerns, because it has spread widely. Whether it is true or not, we must provide an answer,” he added.

Aqsha also stressed that his team had checked at Rumah Sakit Sumber Waras, where the victim was said to be treated after a head injury from a stabbing. The investigation found no medical records for the named victim.

Similar statements were made by the Head of Public Relations at Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto. He confirmed that the Criminal Investigation Unit [Satreskrim] of Metro Jakarta Barat and Kebon Jeruk Police had verified with the hospital.

“We also visited Rumah Sakit Sumber Waras to verify its truth. From the preliminary checks, there is no patient data under the name mentioned in the post within the last month,” Budi said.

Kebon Jeruk Police had also sought assistance from the cybercrime team at Metro Jakarta Barat in tracing the digital footprint of the viral post and contacting the authors of the threads, but there has been no response to date.

“We have also asked for assistance and handed it to the Polres; the cyber team to try to see who uploaded it to verify,” Aqsha said.

In Kompas.com’s tracing, several accounts that previously posted information about the alleged robbery on social media Threads have now deleted their posts.
