BANDA ACEH - Team Rimueng Satreskrim Polresta Banda Aceh arrested a man with the initials IY (25), from Aceh Tamiang who claimed to be a TNI officer and embezzled a laptop in Banda Aceh.

"The perpetrator was arrested for allegedly embezzling a laptop belonging to his female friend PANI (21), a resident of Banda Aceh," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the Banda Aceh Police, AKP M Ryan Citra Yudha, in Banda Aceh, quoted by Antara, Friday, November 5.

AKP Ryan said that the case began with an introduction between the victim and the perpetrator through the Tantan application. After getting acquainted, the two met for the first time.

On Monday, November 1 at around 16.00 WIB, the perpetrator IY contacted the victim to meet and ask to be picked up at the gate of the TNI officer's housing in Gampong (Desa) Neusu Jaya, Banda Aceh.

After meeting, the perpetrator IY took the victim for a walk using the victim's motorbike. On the way home, the perpetrator asked the victim to lend a laptop to be used to make a work report.

"That's when the perpetrator informed the victim that the identity of the perpetrator was a member of a TNI officer," he said

After that, said Ryan, when he arrived at the gate of the Ajendam IM complex, the victim handed over his laptop to the perpetrator with a promise to return it on Tuesday, November 2.

However, the perpetrator's cellphone began to be unreachable, so the victim felt that she had been deceived by the perpetrator, and finally made a report to the police.
