JAKARTA - A video of a pickpocketing action in the Pulogadung Terminal area, East Jakarta, has gone viral on Instagram again. The perpetrator was caught on amateur video while carrying out an open pickpocketing action against a motorcyclist passing by the location, Tuesday, May 24.
Even though there were officers controlling the traffic, the perpetrators casually continued to carry out their actions. Even the action of the perpetrators was carried out when the traffic flow was busy.
"Yes, it was caught on camera. It has happened here many times. Usually victims ride motorbikes, the ones that are easy to pick up are victims with bags. This has often happened here," Michael told reporters at the location, Tuesday, May 24.
The perpetrator, who was wearing a black shirt, stole valuables belonging to an online motorcycle taxi passenger. After successfully getting the target item, the perpetrator immediately fled into the terminal.
With the pickpocketing action, residents feel restless if they pass through the Pulogadung Terminal. The large number of pickpockets roaming the location makes residents reluctant to shout at the perpetrators.
The case is currently under investigation by the Pulogadung Police.
