Woman busted in Bekasi for credit card fraud<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Bekasi police nabbed a North Jakarta woman
\nSunday evening for allegedly using a stolen credit card.<\/p>\n
The suspect, identified as Isti Rahayu S., 22, a resident of
\nSemper Barat, Cilincing district, North Jakarta, was arrested by
\nBekasi police at the \"Hero\" supermarket at around 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
\"She came to the supermarket with the children of a relative,\"
\nLt. Col. Latief Rabar, spokesman for the city police, said
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
After purchasing two articles of children's clothing and some
\nbaby goods in the basement, she went upstairs to buy three denim
\ntrousers, five T-shirts, a \"JJ\" shirt at the \"Hammer\" store.<\/p>\n
She then paid for the goods with a credit card. However, the
\ncashier discovered that the card had been blocked by the bank at
\nthe request of the owner.<\/p>\n
\"The card was reported missing by the owner on Friday,\" said
\nLatief.<\/p>\n
The cashier then called Bekasi police who soon came to arrest
\nthe suspect.<\/p>\n
Later, during the interrogation, police found several other
\nbank cards in the wallet of the suspect, including three Citibank
\ncredit cards, one Lippo credit card, one Exim credit card, one
\nBank Bali credit card and one ATM Lippo card--all of which are
\nbelieved to have been stolen.<\/p>\n
\"All the bank cards are registered under different female
\nnames, none which are hers,\" Latief added.<\/p>\n
According to Latief, the woman told her interrogators that she
\nhad not stolen the cards, but had simply found them on the
\nstreet.<\/p>\n
However, police believe that the suspect had obtained the
\ncards illegally and therefore put her into custody in the Pondok
\nBambu district pending further investigation. (jsk)<\/p>",
