JAKARTA - A woman with the initials TNA (32) was arrested by the police at the OYO Hotel on suspicion of fraud by changing digital transfer evidence while shopping at the Jenahara Boutique at Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) 2, Pondok Pinang, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.

Head of Public Relations of the South Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Nurma Dewi, said that the TNA was arrested on Tuesday night, April 15, 2025 at around 22.00 WIB, at the OYO Hotel in the Kebayoran Lama area.

"We have arrested a fraudster with a fake transfer mode at one of the clothing outlets at Pondok Indah Mall 2," said Nurma in her statement, Thursday, April 17, 2025.

The incident occurred on Friday night, April 11, 2025 at 20.05 WIB. At that time, the atmosphere of the mall was busy and the perpetrator made digital payments using a mobile banking application worth Rp2,186,400. The proof of the transfer was then photographed by the cashier as verification.

However, on Monday, April 14, 2025, the store's finance department found a difference in the amount of money between income and sales. After checking through CCTV footage, it was discovered that the perpetrator was suspected of editing evidence of mobile banking transactions, which would later be shown to the shop cashier.

The victim then uploaded CCTV footage to social media. The video went viral and was immediately followed up by the South Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Team.

"Officers immediately went to the scene and asked for information from the witnesses," explained Nurma.

During the investigation process, the perpetrator contacted the victim via Instagram and expressed his willingness to return the goods that had been purchased. The goods were then sent from the OYO 123 Puri Lotus Hotel, Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta which became a clue for the police to find the whereabouts of the perpetrators.

"We finally secured the perpetrator at the hotel and taken him to the South Jakarta Police for further investigation," he added.

From the results of the examination, the perpetrator admitted that he wanted to get goods for free and stated that this was his first action.

"The motive is to shop without paying. He admits that he has only done this once," said Nurma.

The evidence that was secured included CCTV footage of the shop, evidence of fake transfers, notes of purchases, and clothes made from fraudulent acts.

Even so, this case has been resolved amicably after both parties agreed to make peace through the mediation process.

"Has made peace," said Nurma asserted.

This case is recorded in a police report with the number: R/LI/17/IV/2025/Sat Reskrim/South Jakarta Metro Police.
