progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – A photographer accidentally photographed the face of a mugger during a car free day (CFD) event on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta Pusat, Saturday, (16/6) yesterday morning. The photographer who immortalized the snatcher’s appearance was named Roni Asnan with the Instagram account @asnanfoto.
This story happened at 06.15 WIB yesterday. At that time Roni Asnan was taking photos of residents exercising. Suddenly, from the direction of Blok M Bundara HI – continuing towards the front of the Meridian Hotel, many people ran out shouting, ‘pickpocket’.
These people ran after the two mugging perpetrators who were riding a black automatic motorbike with registration number B 3983 PFB. The first perpetrator who was riding a motorbike wore a green jacket, while his friend who was riding a motorbike wore a red jacket.
From the photos taken by Roni Asnan, the face of the mugger wearing a green jacket carrying a motorbike is very clearly visible. Meanwhile, the friend who was wearing a red jacket couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a mask.
“At the time of the incident, i also shouted so that the Satpol PP officers at the location heard and joined in chasing the snatcher. Finally the residents and officers gave chase while i reflexively took a photo of the snatcher. But i wasn’t caught up because the snatcher ran away quickly,” he said.
“The two snatchers stole the cellphone of a boy who was at the CFD with his parents. The police on bicycles have also asked the victim,” he continued.
