The Nagan Raya Police Unit, Aceh, arrested two youths for allegedly committing fraud against a housewife (IRT) at an independent cash machine (ATM) Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).

"Currently, both of them have been named as suspects and have been detained," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Nagan Raya Police, Aceh, AKP Machfud, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 22.

There are also the identities of the two suspects, each with the initials FL and MA, both of whom are registered as residents of Ujong Fatihah Village, Kuala District, Nagan Raya Regency.

Machfud explained that the arrests of the two suspects were carried out in two separate locations, namely FL, who was arrested in the early hours of Monday in Ujong Fatihah Village, Kuala District, Nagan Raya Regency.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court suspect was arrested by the police on Monday morning at around 03.00 WIB in a house, in the Ateuk Jawo Village area, Baiturahman District, Banda Aceh City.

Machfud said the fraud committed by the two suspects allegedly occurred on Saturday (15/5), based on the report of victim Jumiati, which occurred at the BSI ATM at Sultan Iskandar Muda Hospital, Nagan Raya Regency, when he was about to send money to his friend.

"Because the victim did not understand how to send money through an ATM, the victim asked the Supreme Court suspect for help, with the intention of sending money and asking for proof of the transfer," said Machfud.

After that, the victim and suspect MA and another friend tried to send money at the BSI ATM at Sultan Iskandar Muda Nagan Raya Hospital, but the ATM was unable to issue resi evidence of delivery.

Because at the ATM the victim failed to send money, the victim again asked the perpetrator to go to the BSI Simpang Peut ATM, Kuala District.

However, the Supreme Court suspect advised the victim to send it to Bank Aceh Syariah ATMs located at the Nagan Raya Hospital Complex.

Machfud explained that this case was revealed after the victim Jumiati, who tried to transfer money using her ATM, and then she questioned the complaint to the bank where she became a customer.

However, the victim was shocked when it was explained that his ATM had been controlled by someone else, so the victim's money worth millions of rupiah disappeared.

"Currently, the two suspects are still undergoing examination at the Nagan Raya Police Headquarters, for further investigation," said Machfud.
