JAKARTA - Specialist thieves managed to steal four mobile phones, wallets and cash belonging to one of the residents of a boarding house on Jalan Pedongkelan, Cengkareng, West Jakarta, Monday, February 28. The action was carried out when the victim, named Yoga, was sleeping in his room with his friend.

The victim reported the incident to the Cengkareng Police. He hopes that the police will immediately arrest the perpetrators of the theft because they are considered disturbing the residents of the boarding house.

"I have made a report to the Cengkareng Police. Hopefully, the perpetrators will be caught soon," Yoga told reporters, Tuesday, March 1.

The victim admitted to the police that she suspected the perpetrator was one of her roommates who was staying that night. Because, when the victim woke up, his friend was not in his room.

"So the alleged perpetrator just lived with me and another friend of mine, two months ago," he said.

According to the victim, his friend did not have a job. Feeling sorry for him, the victim asked him to work in Jakarta and live with him. But it turned out that they had only been together for two months, and the suspect had stolen all the valuables.

Meanwhile, the Cengkareng Police Chief, Kompol Ardhie Demastyo, confirmed the theft incident. It is still conducting an investigation based on the information obtained from the victim.

"We are following up," he said briefly when confirmed, Tuesday, March 1.
