JAKARTA - The police have uncovered a case of suspected hoarding of subsidized diesel fuel in a company warehouse in Cilacap Regency, Central Java.

The wooden truck that has been modified with a tarpaulin-covered storage tank is known to carry 1,000 liters of subsidized diesel.

The officers then arrested the truck driver with the initials A (37) from Cilacap Regency for questioning. "From the truck driver's statement, the diesel is planned to be taken to a warehouse owned by PT SJE," he said, quoted by Antara, Friday, April 15.
