Two men arrested in fake money case

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Local police said on Tuesday that they had
arrested two youths for possessing almost Rp 20 million in
counterfeit money.

The two suspects, residents of Bireun regency in the
rebellious Aceh province, were caught red-handed on Monday when
trying to exchange a fake Rp 50,000 bill in the Titi Papan area
of Medan.

During their investigation, the police confiscated as evidence
almost Rp 20 million in counterfeit money from the detainees.

The police said the suspects, who worked at Medan's Belawan
seaport, claimed to have obtained the fake money from an
unidentified person.

Earlier last week, police said another suspect in a different
counterfeit money case had also been arrested. --Antara
