A parking attendant (jukir) at Mataram Mall, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), with the initials DS (26 years old) had to languish behind bars due to his action of stealing a motorbike belonging to one of the visitors. DS' reckless action was driven by his addiction to methamphetamine.

The theft occurred in front of the Mataram Mall KFC. The victim with the initials YG (31) parked his motorbike in the parking area and entered the mall to buy food.

However, when YG left the mall, his motorbike was no longer there. He immediately reported the loss to the Mataram Police.

Based on CCTV footage, it can be seen that DS took away the YG motorbike casually. The Mataram Police Resmob team, which moved quickly, managed to catch DS at one of the outlets of a shop in Mataram City with a stolen motorbike that had not been sold.

During interrogation, DS in a semi-conscious condition admitted that he was desperate to steal YG's motorbike because he saw the key was still stuck in the vehicle. He then waited in the parking lot until the security officers let his guard down and took the motorbike away.

"I (the duty guard) was parked at night and at that time the key was still on the motorbike," he said.

DS argued that he had not taken the motorbike away because there were still security officers there. He then took the stolen motorbike to a shop in the Cakra area to rest.

Meanwhile, YG said that he only left his motorbike for a while to buy food. However, when he left, his motorbike had disappeared.

"Saya mengetahui motor saya hilang sekitar 5,40 Wita, saya parkirkan kendaraan di area parkir untuk membeli makanan," ungkap YG.

For his actions, DS was charged with Article 363 of the Criminal Code concerning theft, with a penalty of 7 years in prison.
