Updated: 2017-02-11 16:23
Two cars were set ablaze early Saturday morning after four men allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail into a parked vehicle in the Central Jakarta area, a police officer said.
The two vehicles were parked on Jl. Pecenongan Raya in Gambir when the incident took place at 3:20 a.m., Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Raden Prabowo Argo Yuwono said on Saturday.
A witness, named Edy Kurniawan, saw the perpetrators approach one of the cars and broke its window.
“According to the witness, one of them then lit something that resembled a Molotov cocktail to set the car alight, which spread to the car next to it,” Argo told The Jakarta Post.
There were no casualties from the incident, he said adding that six firefighters and two fire trucks deployed at the scene managed to extinguish the fire by around 4 a.m.
Police were looking for the perpetrators and were investigating their motives for the incident, he said.
