The Story Of An Elderly Victim Of Burglary Of A House In Kramat Jati: Cheap Watch Taken, The Expensive One Left By The Thief

A group of robbers raided the house of an elderly woman named Suparmi (73) on Jalan Jelita, Kramatjati, East Jakarta. The perpetrators entered by destroying the door of the victim's house.

It is known that the two perpetrators entered Suparmi's house and scrambled all the victim's belongings to get their target items.

The robbery was discovered by the victim after the perpetrators fled with a number of valuables. When he entered, Suparmi saw several bedrooms and the living room was in a mess.

For the bedroom itself, each drawer is dismantled by overturning it so that all its contents spill. Suparmi saw that three of his family's four watch collections had disappeared.

"One is lying on the floor. Even though what is brought is very cheap, but maybe likes the model. One is dead because it hasn't changed the battery, the price is not that cheap. It's even left behind," Suparmi told reporters, Thursday, October 9.

The other items stolen were a ring with gemstones and BRI's uninstalled passbook. For his own ring, Suparmi did not know his gram because he had it since he was in junior high school.

"But this is still looking for anything that turns out to be missing. In total, yesterday's loss was around Rp. 5 million," he said.

After learning of the burglary, Suparmi contacted the head of the local RT to check the CCTV camera footage. Then, Suparmi and her husband immediately went to the Kramatjati Police Station to report the theft.
