Billy Used Stolen Money from an Elderly Nasi Uduk Vendor to Cover Living Expenses

Police have revealed that Toto Rusdianto, alias Billy (46), used the money he stole from an elderly nasi uduk vendor in Bekasi, West Java, to cover his living expenses. Billy committed the theft because he was unemployed.

“The stolen money was used by the suspect to cover his daily needs because he does not have a permanent job,” said the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, on Thursday (26/2/2026).

In carrying out his actions, Billy often targeted vulnerable groups such as the elderly. This is because, according to Billy, the victims are easier to steal from.

“Based on the results of the investigation and examination by investigators, it was found that there were two crime scenes (locations) committed by the suspect, with the victims being the same elderly nasi uduk vendors. Both are in the Pondok Gede area, Bekasi,” he said.

Toto, alias Billy, was arrested on Friday (20/2), at 05.40 WIB, on Jalan Kramat Utara RT 01 RW 04, Kampung Tengah Village, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. As a result of his actions, Toto, alias Billy, was charged with Article 479 of the Criminal Code regarding theft with violence, with a maximum sentence of 9 years in prison.
