An elderly fish trader named Siti Juariyah (64) was robbed of her\nnecklace on Jalan Pandu, Banjar Dukuh, Desa Dalung, Kecamatan Kuta\nUtara, Badung, in the early hours of Thursday (5 March 2026). The\nsnatching was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) and went\nviral on social media after being uploaded by the victim\u2019s\ngranddaughter.<\/p>\n
\u2018The incident happened when I was tidying my fish stall facing east,\naround five to seven minutes past five. Suddenly a person riding a PCX\nmotorcycle from the north rode close and pulled the necklace from my\nneck until I was pushed a metre,\u2019 said Siti Juariyah while giving a\nstatement at the scene.<\/p>\n
The assailant, who approached from the north, wore a grey jacket, a\nblack helmet, and a mask to cover his face. Based on CCTV footage at\nSiti Juariyah\u2019s stall, the perpetrator parked a black Honda PCX\nmotorcycle without a number plate directly in front of the stall before\ncarrying out the act.<\/p>\n
\u2018At that moment I heard my grandmother scream very loudly, so I ran\nout from the neighbouring eatery to help. I briefly saw the man flee\nquickly to the south on his motorbike,\u2019 said Riska Lestari, Siti\nJuariyah\u2019s granddaughter.<\/p>\n
As a result of the forcible pull, the gold necklace worn by the\nvictim broke, and the perpetrator only managed to escape with part of\nthe jewellery. The victim suffered material losses of around Rp 1\nmillion because the thief filched a quarter of the necklace.<\/p>\n
\u2018The offender was tall and thin, about 175 centimetres, wearing\ndark-coloured trousers at the time. He immediately fled towards\n(Padonan) main road,\u2019 added Riska in describing the suspect.<\/p>\n
Police have conducted a crime scene examination and reviewed several\nCCTV recordings along the suspect\u2019s escape route, including areas Joglo\nDalung and Ari Laundry. Although the suspect was seen traversing Jalan\nRaya Padonan at 04:54 WITA, identifying details remain difficult due to\nthe poor image quality.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have visited the location to gather statements from witnesses and\nthe victim, and the team is now conducting further investigations to\nuncover who the perpetrator is,\u2019 said Kuta Utara Police Chief Kompol I\nKetut Agus Pasek Sudina in a statement on Sunday (8 March 2026).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/fish-seller-in-badung-robbed-gold-necklace-ripped-from-neck-during-snatching-1772972230", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
