Fake License Plate on a Land Cruiser<\/strong><\/p>\n JMH assaulted the petrol station attendant because he was refused\nwhen he wanted to fill up with Pertalite fuel in a Toyota Vellfire car.\nThere are at least two reasons why the attendant refused JMH to fill up\nwith Pertalite: the license plate did not match in the fuel filling\napplication and the Vellfire was not supposed to receive subsidized\nfuel.<\/p>\n Chief of the East Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Kombes Alfian\nNurrizal, explained that the license plate L-1-XD attached to the\nsuspect\u2019s car at that time was registered to a green Toyota Land\nCruiser.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter we checked, the license plate L-1-XD is registered to a green\nToyota Land Cruiser. Meanwhile, the vehicle used by the suspect at the\ntime of the incident was a black Toyota Vellfire,\u201d said Alfian.<\/p>\n The case of the Vellfire driver assaulting a petrol station attendant\nin Cipinang, Pulogadung, East Jakarta, occurred on Sunday (22\/2) night\nat around 10:00 PM. From the examination, the license plate was borrowed\nby the suspect from his colleague.<\/p>\n \u201cThe person concerned took or borrowed it from his colleague. So the\nlicense plate belongs to someone else,\u201d said Alfian.<\/p>\n The mismatch between the license plate and the type of vehicle is\nsuspected to be the beginning of the tension at the petrol station. When\nthe attendant found the discrepancy, an argument occurred which then led\nto the assault.<\/p>\n Police are currently investigating the reason why the suspect used a\nlicense plate that did not match the vehicle. Including, the possibility\nof a certain motive behind the installation of the borrowed license\nplate.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are still investigating all things related to the suspect at the\nlocation,\u201d said Alfian.<\/p>\n Testimony of the Petrol Station Attendant<\/strong><\/p>\n The assault case began when one of the petrol station attendants,\nLukman Hakim (19), was on duty on Sunday (22\/2) night at around 10:00\nPM. According to Lukman, the queue of vehicles behind was getting\nlonger, so he took the initiative to speed up the process by asking for\nthe subsidy barcode which was a requirement for filling up according to\nPertamina\u2019s procedure.<\/p>\n However, the situation suddenly heated up when the barcode shown did\nnot match the type of vehicle used.<\/p>\n Lukman said that the vehicle license plate was the same, but the data\nand type of vehicle in the barcode were different. Allegedly, the man\nwas angry because he was reprimanded, so he started shouting in the\nfilling area. He even shouted and threatened the attendants.<\/p>\n The commotion continued when Lukman called staff to confirm the\nfilling policy. The suspect became even more emotional and pushed one of\nthe staff, Ahmad Khoirul Anam, until his head hit the suspect\u2019s car.<\/p>\n Not only that, the suspect then approached another attendant and\nslapped one of their colleagues, Abud Mahmudin, who was trying to calm\nthe situation.<\/p>\n The commotion is said to have lasted quite a long time, estimated to\nbe almost an hour from around 10:00 PM to almost 11:30 PM.<\/p>\n Positive for Meth and Marijuana<\/strong><\/p>\n The East Jakarta Metropolitan Police revealed that the perpetrator of\nthe assault on the Public Fuel Filling Station (SPBU) 3413901 in\nCipinang, Pulogadung, tested positive for methamphetamine and\nmarijuana.<\/p>\n Police suspect that the combination of alcohol and narcotics affected\nthe suspect\u2019s condition, causing him to act aggressively. During the\nexamination, the suspect\u2019s statements changed, so the police checked his\nurine.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter a urine test, the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine\nand marijuana,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
