JAKARTA - The Lubuk Kilangan Sector Police (Polsek), Padang, West Sumatra, has requested expert information from Pertamina to investigate the alleged illegal premium transportation which is currently being handled by the police.

"Until now, the case process is still ongoing, and we are asking for expert information from Pertamina in Jakarta," said Head of Lubuk Kilangan Police, Kompol Edryan Wiguna in Padang as reported by Antara, Tuesday, January 19.

Expert information is required in processing the case which has been running for about 2 months. One of them, said Edryan, was related to the content and quality of oil.

The case of the alleged illegal transportation of premium fuel oil was revealed in an accident that occurred in the Panorama I area, Sitinjau Lauik, Padang, West Sumatra, last Saturday, October 31, 2020.

At that time the truck driven by SP (46) lost control so that the car rolled over, along with the oil being transported.

When questioned by police officers, it turned out that the truck driver did not have official documents to transport the oil, so it was finally processed legally.

From that incident, the Lubuk Kilangan Police Force secured a number of evidences from the case, including 13 drums of premium oil and 5 units of tedmon containing 1,000 liters of premium fuel.

Edryan revealed the number of suspects whose party was still one person, namely the SP truck driver (46) who was charged under Article 53 letter b of the Oil and Gas Law.

From the results of the interim examination of the suspect, it was found that the oil was transported from Palembang, South Sumatra. While the destination area is in fact Padang City, and the plan is to demolish it in the Lubuk Buaya area, Koto Tangah District, Padang.

"We still secure evidence for evidence," he said.

The former Kasatreskrim Padang Police emphasized that his party would process the case completely.
