But now the residents seem a bit relieved because Arie Kriting has been arrested by the Police. The case is trivial, eating at Warteg Bahari doesn't pay according to the bill. But what makes this case a lot, Arie Kriting's action went viral on social media.

This bad news disturbed the ears of the Tanah Abang Metro Police Chief, AKBP Aditya Sembiring. Until finally Aditya ordered members (Buser Unit Reskrim) to chase Arie Kriting. Yes to be arrested, or secured and asked for information why it happened so that it made the public noisy.

The Criminal Investigation Unit, which is used to dealing with thugs, easily takes Arie Kriting to the command (Tanah Abang Police). In the Investigative Room, the thug was asked by officers about the motive for not paying according to the bill.

"The motive is to eat well, but you don't have enough money. So that in the end the person concerned commits such an act," said AKBP Aditya Sembiring to reporters at the scene, Monday, May 6.

The police chief said Arie Kriting ate at Warteg Bahari but paid not according to the meal bill.

"So he eats, pays but doesn't match the bill. The background of the perpetrator, he has one wife and three children," he said.

Luckily, based on police records, Arie Kriting does not yet have a black record at the Tanah Abang Metro Police. So, the arrogance of the Tanah Abang thug is considered purely because he does not have money.

"The perpetrator is not a recidivist, this is the first time he has a problem with the law," he said.
