JAKARTA - A 22-year-old teenager named Rhahul Khana was arrested by residents for allegedly stealing a charity box at Musala Al Jamiyah on Jalan Han Juang, Tebet, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 23, at 03.00 WIB.

One of the local residents named Budi (36) said that he knew about the incident when he saw that there was a puff of smoke in the prayer room. After checking, Budi saw only a small part of the fire. Not only that, Budi realized that the charity box in the prayer room was also missing.

The fire is still big and new. It seems that the culprit is still close. Alhamdulillah caught. Realized that the man was the culprit when he saw his trouser pocket full of money. It stood on his pants and brought plastic crack," he continued.

Budi also said that the perpetrator did not only burn the prayer room, Rhahul also burned one motorcycle that was driven not far from the prayer room.

"There was a motorbike burned too. The person was confused and came out. So the person brought the bucket out, I said, flush it, sir," he said

Budi admitted that he did not know the motive for the perpetrator to burn the prayer room, because he was immediately taken to the Tebet Police Station.

"I don't know, why did he burn it. You just found out that the prayer room was burned. Fortunately, the residents saw it, otherwise it could spread everywhere. Now the perpetrator has been taken to the police station," he concluded.
