The Central Java Police, through the Directorate of General Criminal\nInvestigation, have successfully dismantled a large-scale motorcycle\ntheft syndicate involving a network across provinces. In this motorcycle\ntheft case, officers secured 87 motorcycles of various types at a\nwarehouse in Bandung Regency, West Java.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by the Director of General Criminal Investigation\nof the Central Java Police, Muhammad Anwar Nasir, accompanied by the\nHead of Public Relations, Artanto, and the Head of Sub-Directorate III\nof the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation, Helmy Tamaela, in\na press conference held at the Borobudur Building of the Central Java\nPolice Headquarters on Wednesday (February 25) afternoon.<\/p>\n
In his explanation, Police Commissioner Muhammad Anwar Nasir revealed\nthat officers had secured two main suspects, namely R (43), a resident\nof Wiradesa, Pekalongan City, and S (47), a resident of Warungasem,\nBatang Regency. Suspect R played the role of the main liaison who\ncollaborated with the financiers, while suspect S was in charge of\nfinding and providing a place to store the vehicles before they were\nshipped.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe perpetrators sought people who were willing to lend their ID\ncards in exchange for a certain fee to apply for motorcycle credit from\nleasing companies. After the motorcycles were received from the dealer,\nthe installments were not paid, but instead, the units were collected\nand sent to a warehouse in Bandung Regency via rail freight services,\u201d\nhe explained.<\/p>\n
In addition to the two suspects, the police are still pursuing AM,\nwho is now a fugitive and is suspected of being the intellectual\nmastermind and financier who manages the storage warehouse in\nBandung.<\/p>\n
The Director of General Criminal Investigation added that this\nmotorcycle theft and receiving stolen goods syndicate exploited\nadministrative loopholes in the shipping company by using STCK (Vehicle\nTrial Certificate) as a shipping document. This was possible because the\nvehicle registration certificate (BPKB) and vehicle registration\ncertificate (STNK) had not yet been issued by the police when the\nvehicle was newly delivered from the dealer.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Deputy Chief of the Central Java Police, Latief Usman,\nwho also inspected the evidence directly, expressed his appreciation for\nthe performance of the General Criminal Investigation Directorate. At\nleast 10 leasing companies, including FIF Group and Mega Finance, were\nvictims, with total losses estimated at Rp1 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate the quick action of the General Criminal Investigation\nDirectorate and its members in securing these 87 vehicles before they\ndisappeared. These units will soon be returned to the rightful parties,\nnamely the leasing companies that were victims, for further\nadministrative action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To prevent similar cases, the Central Java Police reminded the public\nnot to carelessly lend their identity (ID cards) to others for vehicle\ncredit purposes. Leasing companies are also urged to tighten\nverification of prospective debtors to prevent fraudulent credit\nschemes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the public to be vigilant. Lending ID cards for\nirresponsible credit processes like this can cause the ID card owner to\nbe involved in legal issues because they are considered to be helping in\nthe criminal act of embezzlement,\u201d said the Deputy Chief of Police.<\/p>\n
The perpetrators are charged with Articles 591 and\/or 592 of Law\nNo.\u00a01 of 2023 with a maximum sentence of six years in prison. (H-3)<\/p>\n
