Hendra said that based on the perpetrator’s admission, the garbage bags dumped in the vacant lot next to the Kalimalang road were household waste.

Previously, the action of the perpetrator carelessly tossing garbage bags at Jalan Inspeksi, Kalimalang Canal, Bekasi Regency, was caught on camera by residents and the video went viral on social media.

Based on the video, it appears that the driver of a Van Blind Van with a license plate number B 9338 FCC dumped four large plastic garbage bags on the side of the road.

When disposing of the garbage bag, the driver of the car appears to be walking in a straight line. Even though the surroundings of Jalan Kalimalang seem to be full of other motorists.
