JAKARTA - The police arrested five people suspected of being involved in mixing gasoline with water at a gas station 34,17106, Jalan Ir. H. Juanda, near Bekasi Station, Bekasi City. Two of the five who were secured were the driver and truck assistants, while the other three perpetrators were the Karawang gas station.

"So this driver and assistant is from one of the service provider vendors," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bekasi Metro Police, AKBP Muhammad Firdaus, Wednesday, March 27.

Firdaus said the motives of the perpetrators mixed gasoline with water, to benefit from the gasoline set aside by the perpetrators, which is planned to be sold to the Karawang gas station, West Java as much as 1,800 liters.

"(The motive) is not to find out the number of liters is decreasing, because 1,800 liters of Pertalite type fuel have been sold. So this Bekasi gas station is the second destination after Karawang," he said.
