The Anambas Islands Resort Police (Polres), Riau Islands has named one suspect in the alleged embezzlement of money from the cash on delivery belonging to JNE Anambas Branch worth Rp157 million.

"The suspect has the initials SA, as the former Head Unit of PT TIKI Nugraha Ekakur (JNE), Anambas Islands Regency Branch," said Anambas Islands Police Chief AKBP Raden Ricky Pratidingrat as reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 7.

He said that the determination of the suspect SA was in accordance with applicable procedures, based on valid evidence in the investigation and investigation process.

"From the investigation stage to the determination of the suspect, we have carried out all procedures according to applicable regulations and operational standards (SOPs)," he said.

Investigators initially summoned SA as a witness at the Bengkong Police, Batam City as an alternative location because of his domicile.

During the examination, SA admitted that the Anambas branch of the COD JNE money was used for his personal needs.

KBO Satreskrim Anambas Police, Iptu Rudi Luis, said that RA's confession was in line with the testimony of other witnesses, including couriers from JNE Batam.

"Based on the results of the investigation, we found elements of a criminal act so that a case was carried out to increase SA's status to become a suspect," said Rudi.

After the title of the case, investigators issued a letter of determination of the suspect and arrested SA.

"After the case was filed, we immediately named a suspect and made an arrest. We did not issue a summons because there was strong evidence," he said.

After the determination of the suspect was issued, investigators did not immediately detain the suspect because his domicile distance, Batam, with the Anambas Police was quite far away, and the travel time exceeded the limits stipulated by the law, so investigators issued a warrant to bring and confront the suspect and have not been detained.

"We have informed the parties to leave regarding this legal process, including a warrant to bring and confront the suspect and a warrant for arrest," said Rudi.

In this case of attracting public attention, the total loss of Rp157 million is calculated based on the calculation of the Batam Main Branch JNE management team.

The loss consisted of a difference in COD money that was not deposited by SA of around Rp. 78 million, as well as losses due to consumer goods lost in JNE Anambas' warehouse due to exceeding the deadline for delivery.

Rudi said the COD money received from the courier should have been deposited directly to JNE Batam within 1-2 days. However, the SA suspect only sent part of the difference of around Rp. 78 million.

"In addition, consumer goods that were not immediately returned to JNE Batam also increased the value of losses so that the total reached Rp157 million," he said.
