Police Uncover Other Victims of 'Billy', the Thief Who Targeted Elderly Nasi Uduk Sellers
Police have arrested Toto Rusdianto, alias Billy (46), the thief who targeted an elderly nasi uduk seller in Bekasi, West Java. It turns out that Toto specifically targeted elderly women as victims.
The Head of Unit V of the Mobile Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, AKP Arief Ryzki Wicaksana, said that the perpetrator would pretend to order nasi uduk. When the victim was distracted, the perpetrator would steal their money.
“The perpetrator is a thief who uses the modus operandi of ordering nasi uduk, targeting vulnerable people, namely mothers or elderly women,” said Arief, Thursday (February 26, 2026).
The perpetrator took advantage of the moment when the seller was preparing the order to steal the victim’s money. Toto had already stolen twice, with both victims being elderly nasi uduk sellers.
Toto, alias Billy, was arrested on Friday (February 20) at 05:40 WIB on Jalan Kramat Utara RT 01 RW 04, Kampung Tengah Village, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. He acted alone.
For his actions, Toto, alias Billy, was charged with Article 479 of the Criminal Code regarding theft, with a maximum sentence of nine years in prison.
First Theft
The first theft occurred on Jalan Sosial RT 02 RW 06, Jatiwaringin Village, Pondok Gede, Bekasi City, on Friday (January 2) at around 08:00 WIB. The perpetrator took the victim’s bag containing a wallet and Rp 7.5 million.
The perpetrator took the bag that was hanging on the fence at the victim’s stall and hid it under his shirt. However, the victim, who realized that her money had been stolen, tried to stop him and fell when she held onto the perpetrator’s motorcycle.
“When the perpetrator tried to escape on a motorcycle, the victim tried to stop him and held his hand. 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, alias Billy, targeted another nasi uduk seller.
Second Theft
The second theft occurred on Tuesday (February 17) morning on Jalan Bulak Tinggi, Pondok Melati, Bekasi City. The incident that happened to Atnah (65) attracted a lot of public sympathy.
Atnah said that she could no longer sell nasi uduk. The money from selling nasi uduk and lontong sayur had been stolen.
“The money that was stolen was the capital and profit, now I can’t sell anymore because I don’t have any capital,” said Atnah, Friday (February 20).
The Rp 700,000 that she had saved little by little was gone. When the perpetrator came and ordered nasi uduk, Atnah said that she didn’t suspect anything at all.
Atnah immediately fulfilled the order for four portions of nasi uduk as requested by the perpetrator. The perpetrator immediately took all of Atnah’s money, which was stored in a biscuit tin.
“I was wrapping it up, and I didn’t see it. Suddenly, that person took my money. When I checked, my money was gone,” said Atnah.
Atnah earns a living by selling nasi uduk and lontong sayur. Alone, Atnah cooks starting at 01:00 WIB in the morning at her home on RT 04 RW 03, Jatiwarna Village.
