Dozens of imported bicycles from China were allegedly taken away by the driver of the freight forwarder or expedition service in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta, June 3. The total loss is estimated at up to Rp200 million.

Victim Fadil Muhammad Hanin said the incident began when the alleged perpetrator, who was an expedition driver with the initials ZA, brought an order from the DHI warehouse to South Tangerang. However, the order never came.

"After about 3 hours of waiting, the courier never came and the phone number could not be contacted. For this incident, the victim suffered losses in the form of 14 bicycles with an estimated loss of around Rp. 200 million," said Fadil when confirmed, Wednesday, June 19.

Fadil decided to make a police report at the Penjaringan Metro Police on Tuesday, June 11. The report is registered with the number LP/B/671/VI/2024/SPKT/POLSEK PENJARINGAN/POLRES METRO NORTH JAKARTA/POLDA METRO JAYA.

He admitted that he had confirmed the expedition related to the crime. However, he only said that the vehicle used by the driver was different from the one registered in his office.

"When I ordered the services of Lalamove, the driver took the goods away without confirmation from us," he said.

He also said that the expedition also admitted that it would compensate the loss of the victim. However, he only replaced Rp. 2 million.

"It can replace compensation of 2 million rupiah," he said.

Penjaringan Police Chief, Commissioner Agus Adi Wijaya admitted that he did not know further about the report. However, he confirmed that his party would follow up.

"We checked," said Agus when contacted, Wednesday, June 19.
