The theft was revealed after a security officer for the Setiabudi LRT station project, Adi Sucipto, went on patrol on Saturday, April 3, at around 24.00 WIB.

At that time, security guards found a sack in the corner of the fence and after checking it turned out to contain several coils of cables.

Adi Sucipto then contacted the Police of the Setiabudi Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit and was assisted by the Opsnal Team or Buru Sergap / Buser.

When they arrived at the location, they then waited while monitoring the person who was going to take the sack containing the cable.

"Then, after the witness waited, it turned out that the sack would be carried by the reported M, an employee of the LRT project," he said.

Perpetrator M was then brought to the Setiabudi Police for further information. Based on the provisional information from the perpetrators, this was the first time this action was carried out.
