Hundreds of religious hard-liners from the Islamic Defenders Front attempted to raid a store in Garut, West Java, on Thursday with some help from the police because they believed it was selling alcohol.
The mob from the front known as the FPI arrived in a convoy of motorcycles outside the Ekbaow grocery store only to find it shuttered by the owners. When they attempted to force it open, the police stopped them.
However, the police then banged on the door and called for the owners to let the mob in so that they could "check the goods." The owners refused to open up.
The frustrated mob then turned its focus on a series of kiosks at the Garut bus terminal that it claimed were also selling liquor. When they arrived, however, the kiosks were also closed. The mob ended its day riding in a convoy around the city.
