North Sumatra Police confiscated 21,000 liters of diesel fuel at Jalan Serba Guna warehouse Number 19 Pasar IV, Helvetia Village, Labuhan Deli District, Deli Serdang Regency.

"For those who were secured (solar) a total of 21,000 liters," said North Sumatra Police Criminal Investigation Director Kombes Teddy JS Marbun in Deli Serdang as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, August 31.

He said the mechanism was that the tanker containing the subsidy diesel stopped by this place.

"Then, they will issue 400-800 diesel oil per tank car and then accommodate it in this warehouse with an oil purchase price of around Rp. 9,700-Rp. 10,900 per liter, while the price of industrial diesel is around Rp. 18 thousand per liter," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the North Sumatra Police, Kombes Hadi Wahyudi, said that the prosecution of the diesel warehouse was carried out on Tuesday (29/8) by the Special Criminal Directorate of the North Sumatra Police.

"The action of the diesel warehouse was carried out by examining the owner with the initials W and warehouse guard A who was a witness, while the warehouse driver was still in the pursuit stage," he said.

He said this illegal practice is expected to have been carried out in 2021, while the warehouse location is far from community settlements.

At the location, oil tanks with a capacity of 10,000 liters were found, two tanks with a capacity of 16,000 liters, and one tank with 24,000 liters.

"There is also a fiber/babytank tank with a capacity of 1,000 as many as 14 units, this is also used as a tank truck shelter," said Hadi.
