JAKARTA - The Directorate of the Water and Air Police (Ditpolairud) of the Riau Islands Police (Kepri) arrested four illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) from Malaysia who entered Batam through an unofficial port.

"We arrested four people, namely PA (23), A (32), AA (33), and T (30)," said Head of Sub-Directorate for Gakum Dit Polairud of the Riau Islands Police AKBP Sudarsono, Thursday, September 10, quoted from Antara.

The arrests of the four illegal PMIs began when they descended at an unofficial port in Batam from Malaysia.

While still around the port, one of the illegal PMIs accidentally chatted with a police officer who was in free clothes.

"So they don't know that the police who were talking to them were the police," said Sudarsono.

After hearing the story of one of the illegal PMIs, it was discovered that they had four people and had just arrived from Malaysia.

"But they don't have passports at all from Malaysia," he said again.

As a result, currently the four illegal PMIs have been detained by his side and have been taken to the Riau Islands Police Polairud for questioning.

"This is just an administrative matter, fortunately he was caught here, if it's in Malaysia it's getting harder, it's his business," said Sudarsono as well.
