CILACAP – A theft recidivist is back in trouble with the law. RB, the initials of the perpetrator, was arrested after stealing a bicycle and a wallet belonging to the victim, at Suprapto's house, Jalan Wijaya Kusuma, Cilacap Regency.

Wakapolres Cilacap Kompol Suryo Wibowo explained that at that time the perpetrator saw the victim's bicycle leaning on the terrace of Suprapto's house.

“At that time the bicycle was on the terrace of the house, and the house happened to be quiet. The perpetrator took the bicycle and took it away.” Suryo explained, through an official statement received on Monday, February 7th.

It turned out, Suryo continued, that the perpetrators were not satisfied with stealing a bicycle which was worth Rp. 7.5 million. On his way, the perpetrator stole a wallet at a restaurant. But the action is not as smooth as stealing a bicycle.

The act of stealing the wallet was caught by local residents. The perpetrator could not move when the residents caught him.

“At that time the perpetrator was caught by the residents, and then handed over to the Cilacap Police. After an examination, the perpetrator also admitted that he had stolen the bicycle. When the victim (the owner of the bicycle) was called by the police and shown the bicycle, the victim confirmed that a 7.5 million Polygon Monarch Green bicycle had been lost," Suryo explained.

The police know that RB, the perpetrator, has a bad record. He had done the same case, namely theft.

"The perpetrator has previously been sentenced to 2 times in the case of theft, with this action the perpetrator was charged with Article 363 (1) 3e concerning theft with a weighted threat of a maximum of 7 (seven) years." Suryo said
