JAKARTA - A car user on Jalan Balikpapan, Gambir District, Central Jakarta became a victim of robbery. The perpetrators, totaling two people using motorbikes, acted when the victim's car was in the middle of a road jam. So this makes it difficult for the victim to catch the perpetrator.
The theft was caught on a dashcam camera by another car user not far from the crime scene (TKP). The video footage finally went viral on social media.
A witness named Awaludin said the perpetrator two people using an automatic motorbike stopped at the busway lane. The perpetrator, who was sitting behind the motorbike, got off and approached the victim from behind.
At that time, continued Awaludin, the victim's car window was in an open position and the victim was playing with his cellphone behind the wheel.
"I was horrified. Then I went to the edge (of the road), after going to the edge of the victim shouted snatch from the car," Awaludin told reporters, Thursday, December 8.
After getting the victim's cellphone, the perpetrator immediately fled using a motorbike on the busway lane.
"He stopped at the busway lane both of them, yes, he was in a long traffic jam. There were a lot of cars," he said.
The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Gambir Metro Police, Kompol Andhika Aris Prasetya, confirmed the mugging action.
"We have received and seen a snatched video that went viral on social media. We have carried out an in-depth investigation at the TKP. But we are still waiting for the victim to make a report," he said when confirmed, Thursday, December 8.
Commissioner Andhika said similar incidents and in the same location also occurred last June.
"Our team carried out monitoring. The perpetrators have been identified, there are two people using the Nmax motorbike," he said.
