Woman arrested with fake money

BOGOR: Police arrested a woman who was carrying Rp 5.3
million in counterfeit money in front of a bank on Monday, after
the woman's behavior aroused suspicion.

Thirty-six-year-old Ati, a Sukabumi resident was arrested at
the Lippo Bank parking lot in Jl. Juanda, and later admitted to
police that she was told to deliver the counterfeit money by a
man named Eddy whom she met at the Cianjur bus station.

Bogor chief of detectives, Comr. Edi S. Tambunan, said that in
her confession the suspect was promised a Rp 300,000 fee from
Eddy after she delivered the package to a man who was to be
waiting for her in front of the Sempur field, which is located
next to the Lippo Bank building, at 5:30 p.m.

"When the officers spotted her looking wary and anxious in the
parking lot, they suspected she was a drug dealer and promptly
stopped her for questioning," Edi said.

Ati admitted that she was aware that she was carrying
counterfeit money.

"I know the envelope contains counterfeit money because when
Eddy handed it to me, he told me to be careful when carrying the
counterfeit money," Ati told reporters. --JP
