SITUBONDO - An honorary teacher in Situbondo, East Java, was caught snatching a bag belonging to a resident. The teacher with the initials DI (32) admitted that he was in debt and finally chose a shortcut with a criminal act.

Head of Public Relations of the Situbondo Police, Iptu Achmad Sutrisno, said the mugging took place on Jalan Basuki Rahmad Situbondo, on Wednesday, December 22.

By riding a motorbike, the perpetrator took the bag belonging to victim Rahma (35) from Selomukti Village, Mlandingan District, Situbondo. The victim screamed until the mugging was thwarted.

"At that time the victim and her husband were about to get into the car. The perpetrator came and took the victim's bag. The victim screamed and the residents responded immediately," said Iptu Achmad, Friday, December 24.

The perpetrators were arrested by residents and 'rewarded' a beating. The perpetrator was battered.

"Luckily at that time the police immediately arrived and managed to secure the perpetrator from the mob," said Iptu Achmad.

From his confession, the perpetrator admitted that his actions were motivated by economic pressure. This honorary teacher is in debt to his neighbors. He was billed almost every day, but because he had no money, this honorary teacher was confused.

"He confessed that he was forced to snatch the crime because he had a debt to his neighbor. This case is still under investigation. The perpetrator is currently being held at the Situbondo Police Headquarters cell," said Iptu Achmad.
