Four pet birds worth Rp 16 million (US$1,130) were stolen from a pet shop on Jl. Muchtar Tabrani, North Bekasi.
According to the police, the robbery happened at around 4 a.m. on Thursday.
Angga, owner of the shop, was at a mosque for subuh (dawn) prayers.
An employee passing by the shop noticed that the store doors were open and found that four birds –two magpies and two lovebirds – were missing. He immediately informed Angga.
The theft was caught by the store's security cameras.
North Bekasi Police criminal investigation unit head First Insp. Bahrudin said there were two robbers.
"We have two suspects," said Bahruddin on Friday as reported by kompas.com. "The one who stole the birds was wearing a helmet, while the other waited on their motorcycle."
The police are investigating the case. (eyc)
