Nani Miranda, cashier at Toko Pia Cap Mangkok, said the perpetrators seemed to have the same role. One of them transacts by buying a drink and exchanging money, while the other perpetrator distracts the cashier next to me.

One of the perpetrators bought two bottles of drinks worth IDR 11,000 and paid with a IDR 50,000 bill. After the transaction, the perpetrator intended to exchange the money but looked for the serial number for collection purposes.
 
"The cashier is limited by transparent glass, their head enters from the side. I wanted to see them one by one. Because I was looking for a certain serial number. I wanted the one with the front serial number 'I', because it's Indonesia, miss. I wanted to collect it," she imitated.

Meanwhile, another perpetrator approached Nani, buying a keychain while starting a conversation with various questions. At that time, Nani saw Amel, the cashier next to her, taking out money and arranging it on the table. She asked about her actions.

"Why is the money being taken out on the table? This is for exchanging money. She asked for the money to be taken out on the cashier's table and chose the appropriate ones one by one," she said.

The perpetrator also took out Rp75,000 banknotes from his wallet. Apparently, it was camouflage to take money and put it in his wallet.

"My friend might not realize it, after her money was taken out, the perpetrator also took out money. My friend didn't realize how many bills of money she took out," she narrated.

At that time, the cashier didn't realize that the money in her drawer had decreased. It was only realized a few moments later when she was about to shift at around 8:00 PM. The perpetrator came around 7:00 PM.

 

3. Causing Losses of Up to Rp 1 Million

Reti Ovianti, personnel of Toko Pia Cap Mangkok, added that the perpetrator, like other visitors, pretended to transact at the cashier. The perpetrator then expressed his intention to exchange his dollars, but chose a specific series.
 
"Then the cashier held a lot of money in his hand, selected and searched for it. Then asked the cashier to take out several sheets of money, claiming to want to choose a specific series," he explained.
 
The cashier felt that his money did not decrease and was not given to the person. According to the cashier, the perpetrator only took one sheet according to the exchanged money.
 
"But the deposit seems to be insufficient. We thought it was our mistake. It turns out that we heard that the neighboring store was also like that. We feel from there, on the same day almost at the same time, there were two foreigners with the same modus operandi," he revealed.
 
As a result of the incident, the cashier suffered a loss of Rp1 million, while the other two stores suffered losses of Rp800,000 and Rp200,000. CCTV footage from Lai Lai store that circulated showed the actions of the perpetrators.
