Police Arrest 'Ruthless King' Who Stole Money from Elderly Nasi Uduk Vendor

Toto Rusdianto, also known as Billy (46), was arrested by police for stealing money from an elderly nasi uduk vendor in Bekasi, West Java. The suspect was apprehended in the Kramat Jati area, East Jakarta.

“Thanks to sharp analysis of digital evidence, officers were able to identify the perpetrator and track down his hiding place in East Jakarta,” said the Head of Unit V of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Metro Jaya Police, AKP Arief Ryzki Wicaksana, on Thursday (26/2/2026).

Toto, also known as 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. It turned out that Toto had stolen twice, with both victims being elderly nasi uduk vendors.

Based on the investigation, it was revealed that Toto deliberately targeted elderly nasi uduk vendors as his victims.

“The perpetrator is a thief who uses the modus operandi of ordering nasi uduk and targeting vulnerable people, namely mothers or elderly women, and then taking the money from their sales,” he said.

The first theft occurred on Jalan Sosial RT 02 RW 06, Jatiwaringin Village, Pondok Gede, Bekasi City, on Friday (2/1) at around 08:00 WIB.

The perpetrator took the victim’s bag containing a wallet and Rp 7.5 million in cash, which was hanging on the fence at the victim’s stall. In a video that went viral on social media, the victim tried to stop him and fell to the ground while holding onto the perpetrator’s motorcycle.

“When the perpetrator tried to escape on a motorcycle, the victim tried to stop him and held onto his arm. However, the perpetrator sped off, the victim fell, and the perpetrator fled,” he said.

The victim’s child reported the case to the Pondok Gede Police. A month later, Toto, also known as Billy, targeted another nasi uduk vendor.

The second theft occurred on Tuesday (17/2) morning on Jalan Bulak Tinggi, Pondok Melati, Bekasi City. The case involving the elderly woman, Atnah (65), attracted a lot of public sympathy.
