Depok police arrest four suspects in gang attack and robbery

Police in Depok have arrested four suspects involved in a violent gang attack and attempted robbery in the Pancoran Mas district. The incident occurred on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at approximately 03:00 WIB.

According to investigators, a group of approximately 20 gang members intercepted a victim riding a Honda PCX motorcycle with a passenger. The attackers forced the vehicle off the road, causing the victims to fall. The victim sustained multiple slash wounds to the head, hands, knees, and elbows from sharp weapons, including a sickle.

The suspects attempted to steal the motorcycle, but were unsuccessful because the vehicle's keyless ignition system required a remote held by the victim. Following an investigation involving crime scene processing and witness interrogations, the Depok Metro Police apprehended all four suspects within 24 hours of the incident.
