Four arrested for fuel hoarding

BOGOR: Police arrested four fuel hoarding suspects on Thursday in the village of Tlajungudik, where they are alleged to have stored diesel fuel.

According to Bogor's chief of police, Sr. Comr. Nanan Soekarna, the male suspects Gunung Putri, Cileungsi and Citeureup, were guilty of hoarding fuel. He added that there were many such cases found in Bogor as the price of kerosene was cheaper than in Jakarta.

Opportunists are hoarding kerosene as a way to make a quick and easy profit following the government's plan to increase the price of fuel in the near future.--JP
