Bird Thief Murai Batu In Tambora Arrested, Police: When Action Accompanied By Orphans Of Orphans And Promised Money

JAKARTA - MR, a 31-year-old man in Tambora, West Jakarta, is dealing with the police over the theft of a stone mucau bird. From MR's hands, the police confiscated 6 certified stone magpie birds.

When acting, MR is not alone. He invited a minor with the initials FS (14) his own neighbor to commit theft on Jalan Masjid Pekojan I, Tambora, West Jakarta.

"His role (neighbors) helps when stealing birds. The child is lured by profit. The price of the bird is actually Rp. 1.5 million to Rp. 2 million per head, but it is sold to the perpetrators of Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 400 thousand," said Tambora Police Chief Kompol Putra Pratama when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, February 22.

The two perpetrators of the theft also admitted that previously they had stolen 10 birds in the same place.

"A total of 23 stone magpie birds have been stolen. The perpetrator is said to have admitted to luring his neighbor's child with money to invite him to commit the theft," he said.

MR also had the heart to invite FS, an orphan who was still a minor to commit theft. Both were detained at the Tambora Police Headquarters.

However, after the investigation process was carried out, the victim and the families of the perpetrators agreed to make peace.

"The Tambora Police have implemented restorative justice for the crime of theft of birds, because one of the perpetrators aged 14 years is an orphan. So we stop this crime with a restorative justice mechanism," said Kompol Putra.
