JAKARTA - A chicken noodle seller on the side of BB Street, Cipinang Muara, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta, has become a victim of theft. The perpetrator's action was caught on CCTV surveillance cameras stealing gas cylinders belonging to the chicken noodle seller.

From the confession of Nandi, a chicken noodle seller who was a victim of theft, he had just started a business of trading chicken noodles after returning home for Eid. However, on the first day of selling, Nandi was struck by a disaster.

"This is just a trade, eh, someone has helped," he told reporters, Wednesday, May 11.

From the CCTV camera footage, it can be seen that an actor driving a motorbike was passing by and stopped in front of a chicken noodle cart on BB Street, Cipinang Muara. Seeing that no one was guarding the cart, the perpetrator took advantage of the situation by stealing gas cylinders.

The perpetrator first monitored the conditions around him, then he took a gas cylinder measuring 3 kilograms and placed it in the front trunk of his motorbike.

"He (the perpetrator) was himself. He seemed to be (riding with his motorbike) straight, when he saw the gas (tube) back off and take it, that's great," said the victim.

After getting the target item, the perpetrator immediately fled without being suspected by residents.

The theft was only discovered when the victim returned to his trading base cart.

"When the incident happened, the cart was left behind. It's not a problem with the gas (canister) but a problem with frustration," he said.

As a result of this incident, Nandi was forced to sell by borrowing a gas cylinder belonging to a neighbor in order to continue selling chicken noodles.

"Gas (canister) borrowed first. This is the first time trading, this is after going home," he said.

This is the first time this theft has occurred. The victim also refused to report the theft incident to the nearest police station.
