Secretary arrested for swindle

JAKARTA (JP): Police have arrested a secretary for allegedly
forging her employer's signature to withdraw Rp 150 million
(US$64,377) from a bank in Central Jakarta.

A police sergeant at Gambir Police subprecinct said the woman,
Suminar, was arrested Tuesday at her office, PT Cipta Elektro
Mega, on Jl. KH. Mas Mansyur, Central Jakarta, after her employer
reported her to the police.

"Suminar admitted withdrawing the money from a branch of Bank
Internasional Indonesia over three months, starting August," the
sergeant said on Wednesday.

The employer, Rudi Lee, told the police when the bank told him
his secretary had emptied his account.

Suminar is being detained at Pondok Bambu women's
penitentiary, the sergeant said. (jun)
