BNI's ATM robbed in Bekasi

JAKARTA (JP): Bekasi Police detectives have not made any
significant progress in their investigation of the theft of Rp
196.2 million (US$21,325) from Bank BNI's automatic teller
machine (ATM) at Goro wholesale outlet in Pekayon, South Bekasi,
an officer said on Monday.

"No progress yet. We're still investigating," Sr. Supt.
Sutarman, chief of the precinct, said.

Agus Yulianto, 23, an employee of PT Swadarma Sarana
Informasi, a partner of Bank BNI, discovered that the money was
missing from the ATM box on Saturday afternoon.

Agus was carrying out his daily routine at the ATM at around 2
p.m. when some customers complained to him about the empty ATM.

Agus said that he became suspicious after receiving the
complaint because he knew that the box was filled with Rp 50,000
bank notes earlier in the morning.

He then opened the ATM and learned that the complainant was
correct.

At first look, he found nothing suspicious about the machine.
But later, with the help of police officers, Agus found several
places where the machine was damaged.

"Two boxes of money were missing from inside the ATM," he
said.

Based on the data, the last transaction at the ATM was
recorded at 2:36 p.m.

Officer Sutarman believes that the crime might have involved
insiders since we found no significant damage," Agus said. (bsr)
