The Criminal Investigation Unit Team of the Mataram City Police, West Nusa Tenggara arrested a fake policeman with the initials SM (40) who was suspected of defrauding a number of victims. One of the victims claimed to have lost up to Rp120 million.

From the results of the examination, it was revealed that SM was a state civil servant who is now in danger of being fired for his recidivist status. In this fraud case, SM disguised himself as the Head of the Mataram Police Buser Unit with the rank of AKP. SM was recorded to have launched his actions on a number of victims with various tricks. First, the victim named Sri Yuanita from Perumnas, Mataram City. The perpetrator offered to buy confiscated goods from the police to the victim in a nominal value of Rp41 million.

Then there was another victim named Wulan who was caught in the perpetrator's strategy with a loss of Rp120 million. The perpetrator got the money after promising the graduation of the victim's child in the BNN employee test. "The victim (Wulan) has sent money via transfer to the perpetrator's bank account worth Rp120 million," he said. There were other victims, namely four Lombok earthquake volunteers who came from Surabaya. They were deceived by the perpetrators with an average loss of Rp. 1 million to Rp. 2 million. Another victim from the hotel where SM stayed for two weeks until the last day of the arrest. The perpetrator was in arrears in paying the inn room with a shield as Head of the Mataram Police Buser Unit.

The police are now investigating the perpetrators who lead to criminal acts under Article 378 of the Criminal Code on Fraud with the threat of a sentence of 4 years in prison. "There are also criminal allegations that lead to Article 351 of the Criminal Code concerning persecution. The suspicion is related to the report of a woman claiming to be her boyfriend. She received bad treatment from the perpetrator," said Kadek.
