“It was claimed the suspect stole money to the value of Rp 84 million, three gold bracelets, and other valuables amounting to a total of around Rp 100 million in losses,” said Anom to beritabali.com.
Then he continued his criminal activities by robbing a house on Jalan Drupadi, Seminyak, owned by a I Wayan Drestha on July 7, 2019, at around 10.30am, where the victim lost many pieces of gold jewelry valued at Rp 60 million.
