Dian Pramono, who has a wife with a birth defect with 3 children, tried to steal a gas stove on Saturday, March 20. The reason was that Dian Pramono could not afford to have a gas stove at home.

"So initially the perpetrator intended to take the victim's gas stove by entering the victim's house. However, the theft had not yet occurred because the perpetrator was caught by the victim, so the perpetrator was immediately secured and the victim contacted the Neighbourhood Chief (Kepling), which was then taken to the Medan Baru Police office," said the personnel picket of Integrated Police Service Central (SPKT) of Medan Baru Police, Second Police Inspector Adjutant Ezra Keliat, as quoted from the statement of Public Relations of Medan Police, Friday, March 26.

However, because the victim found the attempt to steal the gas stove, the perpetrator canceled the action. The victim agreed to forgive and not continue reporting to the police.
