CCTV footage of motorcycle theft

JAKARTA - The motorcycle theft took place at Mu'alimin Mosque, Pagelarang Street, Lubang Buaya, Cipayung, East Jakarta. Two perpetrators were caught on CCTV in action when the owner was performing his morning prayers in congregation at the mosque.

Because the situation was quiet, the perpetrators managed to steal the victim's Honda Beat motorbike.

Based on Haji Dahna's statement, the mosque management, the perpetrator's motorbike theft was carried out and CCTV was caught. From CCTV, it can be seen that the perpetrator is wearing a verified sweater, accompanied by a helmet and mask to cover his identity.

"They both rode a Scoopy motorbike, but there was no license plate on their motorbike. They had time to go back and forth and then just took action during congregational prayers," Dahna told reporters, Wednesday, March 19.

Dahna said the theft lasted only about 20 seconds. In fact, he continued, the condition of the victim's motorbike was in a locked position by the handlebar.

"From the CCTV footage, the theft was about 20 seconds, less than a minute. Even though the position of the motorbike has been locked by the handlebar," he said.

Dahna said that when the two thieves took action, he and the other worshipers were praying at dawn. He suspected that the action took place when the congregation was carrying out the second meeting at dawn.

"We all finished after dawn, then immediately prayed in congregation. Maybe the second rakaat. That's not the action at all," he said.

Dahna explained that the location around the mosque and its settlement were indeed quite prone to motorcycle theft. He said the theft often occurs after the Isha and Fajr prayers.

"Here, it is prone to motorcycle theft, everything happens the same. The theft is the same every time Isya runs out or runs out at dawn. Yesterday in the rented house near here, there was also motorcycle theft," he said.

The search case was handled by the Cipayung Police. The perpetrator is still being chased by the police.
