Man arrested for subletting vehicles

BOGOR (JP): Police have arrested a man for allegedly
subletting rented cars, Lt. Col. Edmon Ilyas, the chief of the
Bogor Police precinct, said yesterday.

Edmon said that officers arrested the suspect, identified as
Badrudin, 52, based on information and complaints from his
victims.

"In his operation, Badrudin rented a car for one month with a
downpayment of Rp 3 million (US$325), but later rented it on to
other people for between Rp 8 million and Rp 15 million,
depending on the type of the car," he said.

Badrudin is believed to have conducted the illicit practices,
which were in violation of the rental contract he signed, for the
last two years. His victims included Nuryanto, Bambang and
Delvian Noor, Edmon said.

The suspect has reportedly admitted to subletting 15 rented
vehicles, including 10 Kijang vans, one Feroza jeep, one Timor
sedan and one Mitsubishi van. (24/hhr)
