An Australian national, identified by the initials KJB, was apprehended in Indonesia for stealing Viagra pills from a pharmacy in Kerobokan. The incident, captured by surveillance cameras and subsequently going viral, led to his arrest and a settlement with the pharmacy.
An unusual incident unfolded in Indonesia when KJB, an Australian national, was arrested by Bali police for stealing Viagra from a local pharmacy in Kerobokan. The scene was recorded by a surveillance camera, and the footage quickly went viral on social media.
According to Komang Juniawan, the head of the criminal unit of the North Kuta police, authorities acted swiftly after the surveillance video went viral. They located KJB and found him in a villa in the Bumbak neighborhood of North Kuta.
The incident occurred on September 16th when KJB and his friend TLM visited the pharmacy at around 6:24 PM. They inquired about a specific medication from a pharmacy employee. The employee handed a box of Viagra to KJB and TLM, but the two men decided to return the box, perhaps looking for an alternative.
It was only when the store had emptied of customers that the staff discovered that four Viagra pills were missing from the returned box. Images of the incident were widely circulated on social media, drawing the attention of authorities.
An Amicable Resolution The situation eventually found an amicable resolution between the pharmacy and KJB. Under the terms of this agreement, the Australian traveler will have to reimburse the pharmacy for the value of the stolen medication, which is 740,000 IDR (approximately $48 USD).
This case of Viagra theft in Indonesia is likely to remain a memorable incident, marked by the use of technology to solve what seemed like a minor but criminal case.
