BATAM, Riau: Acting on tips, Batam Police finally arrested on
Wednesday a self-professed director of a company identified as
J.H. and seized dozens of fake identity cards (KTP) from his
house at the Griya Permai residential complex.

The police said the suspect sold fake ID cards at prices
ranging from Rp 150,000 to Rp 200.000, adding that the forgery
was a response to the local administration's strict enforcement
of a ruling on supervision of workers from other provinces of the
country.

including confiscated ID cards, stamps and ID forms would be sent
to the criminology laboratory for further investigation.--Antara
