Police Raid Stolen Motorcycle Warehouse in Bogor, Return Vehicles to Owners
Police have returned a stolen motorcycle to its rightful owner in the Cileungsi area of Bogor, West Java. The motorcycle had previously been seized during a raid on a stolen motorcycle warehouse disguised as a scrap metal shop.
“The handover of the vehicle took place at the Cileungsi Police Station and was witnessed by a number of police officers,” said Cileungsi Police Chief Kompol Edison on Saturday (21/2/2026).
The raid took place earlier this week. A number of motorcycles were seized, including one belonging to the victim whose vehicle has now been returned.
“The motorcycle owner came directly to the Cileungsi Police Station after seeing a social media post about the case. He reported that his motorcycle had gone missing in the early hours of Tuesday, 4 February 2026, at approximately 01:00 Western Indonesian Time,” he said.
A number of other stolen motorcycles remain in police custody. Edison urged members of the public who have had motorcycles stolen to come to the station with proof of ownership.
“We ask members of the public who have lost motorcycles to come to the Cileungsi Police Station promptly, bringing their vehicle documents to verify ownership,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the victim, Muhamad Rifki Falah, said he had purchased the motorcycle outright with cash. He expressed his gratitude that the motorcycle had been recovered.
“I hope that in the future, the police will continue to succeed in maintaining security,” he said.
Previously, police had raided a stolen motorcycle storage facility on Jalan Raya Narogong, Dayeuh Village, Cileungsi District, Bogor, West Java. The warehouse had been set up to resemble a scrap metal shop.
“The Cileungsi Police Station Operations Team uncovered a warehouse suspected of being used to store stolen motorcycles,” said Cileungsi Police Chief Kompol Edison on Monday (16/2).
Edison revealed that the investigation began when officers spotted a man carrying a motorcycle with a broken ignition lock. Suspicious, they followed the man to the location.
“From the outside, the warehouse looked like a scrap metal trading post,” he explained.
Police then conducted an inspection of the scrap metal shop. According to Edison, five motorcycles suspected of being stolen were found on the premises.
“Officers discovered five motorcycle units hidden behind a blue tarpaulin. All vehicles had damaged locks and were suspected to be the proceeds of theft,” he said.
