JAKARTA - An expert in the internal media of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government became a victim of pickpocketing while working covering the launching of the 497th DKI Anniversary in the HI Roundabout area, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Sunday, May 19, morning.

The incident only became known to the victim after he rushed to one of the famous hotels in the HI Roundabout area.

According to the victim, the incident began at around 08.30 WIB when the Former, which was walking with Abang-None's group, was suddenly pushed by the alleged perpetrator with the initials AS from behind. Feeling pushed, the victim immediately grabbed the right hand of the perpetrator.

"And the left hand of the perpetrator took my Samsung cellphone which I put in my right shirt pocket," said Folmer when contacted, Sunday, May 19.

Because the perpetrator's hand was successfully held, the victim, who was assisted by Satpol PP officers, immediately took the US perpetrator to the Police Post in the Jalan MH Thamrin area, Central Jakarta.

"I finally arrested the perpetrator and took him to the security post with the Satpol PP," he said

After being interrogated with the Satpol PP, the perpetrator said Former initially did not admit that he had stolen his cellphone. As a result, the victim decided to take the perpetrator to the Menteng Police Station to be handed over to the police.

"There (at the Polsek) he just admitted that my cellphone had been passed to his friend," he said.

As a result of the incident, Former also admitted that he suffered a loss of Rp. 5 million. Folmer has now made a police report and has been received with registration number LP/B/146/2024/SPKT/Polsek Metro Menteng.

The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Menteng Police, AKP Marganda Siahaan, confirmed this. Kanit explained that the perpetrator has now been arrested by his party.

"It has been secured, now it is at the Menteng Police," said Marganda when confirmed, Sunday, May 19.
