Viral Pickpocket Action At Pulogadung Terminal, Open Action In Tengah Keruman

JAKARTA - The crime in the pickpocket gang is again rampant at the Pulogadung terminal, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta.

This time, the pickpocket's gang's action was successfully recorded by a car driver.

The perpetrators were seen targeting people who were carrying bags behind or who were careless when carrying valuables. The main target of the perpetrators is public transport passengers at the Pulogadung terminal.

This amateur video recording was also uploaded to the @jakut.info account. In the upload, the perpetrator immediately approached the victim from behind and in a short time snatched valuables from the victim's bag.

"Here the pickpocket uses a bag, so that it looks like ordinary people. So if you go through Pulogadung, don't put the bag behind or next to it. This is his old player," said the video recorder man.

Based on the video footage, the perpetrator only needed a few seconds to steal valuables from a bag belonging to an angkot passenger in front of the Pulogadung Terminal.

The perpetrator took advantage of the negligence when the victim was about to ride the angkot in the Pulogadung Terminal area, then immediately grabbed the bag where the victim kept valuables.

Despite taking action during the day, the perpetrator seemed relaxed in carrying out his actions. After getting the victim's valuables, the perpetrator walked casually.

"Crazy, got (the victim's belongings). Really dare him. If he can go straight to the toilet, he can run away. Oh, he got his wallet, he's horrified," he said.

Pulogadung Police Chief Kompol Suroto has not provided an official statement regarding the viral incident of the pickpocket at the Pulogadung Terminal. Jakarta residents admitted that they were worried about the rampant pickpocket action in the social facility area.
