JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has uncovered the flow of distribution of thousands of illegal new motorcycles found in a warehouse in Kemandoran, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta (Jaksel). One suspect was arrested.
Kasubdit Ranmor Ditreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya Noor Maghantara said the vehicles were suspected of coming from the practice of embezzlement to misuse financing data.
"While it's not a theft (curanmor). So at first the vehicle was received by a dealer from a collector. This collector comes from a dealer, then there are also individuals," he told the media, Monday, May 11, 2026.
Noor said that some of the vehicles were allegedly the result of the transfer of motorcycles that were still bound by fiduciary guarantees. However, his party is still continuing to delve into whether the financing application process is carried out directly by the data owner or through illegal access.
"The origin of the vehicle is partly suspected to be the result of the transfer of vehicles that have fiduciary guarantees. But we are still investigating the source, whether the owner of the data is the one who directly applies for financing or there is illegal access so that the data of the person is used for loans," he said.
In the disclosure, continued Noor, the police ensured that the majority of the vehicles found were new motorcycles from two major manufacturers, namely Yamaha and Honda. According to him, some units were deliberately dismantled into several components to facilitate packaging and the delivery process.
"Yes, the condition is all new. Some of it has been dismantled, some of it is intact," he said.
In this case, investigators have named a suspect with the initials WS in the case of the alleged theft of the motor vehicle. The suspect was arrested after being unable to show valid vehicle ownership documents.
Meanwhile, the Director of Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya, Iman Imannudin, added that investigators also examined a number of witnesses, including 18 employees at the embezzlement warehouse.
"We have currently identified one suspect with the initials WS and continue to develop the disclosure of this criminal act in the network of vehicle providers," said Iman.
In addition to the alleged embezzlement, said Imam, his party is also investigating the possibility of other criminal acts, ranging from embezzlement, money laundering, breach of fiduciary guarantees, to misuse of personal data. The suspect is threatened with a layered criminal penalty with a threat of imprisonment of up to six years.
"Investigators are still tracing the distribution network of illegal vehicles, including those who help ship them abroad," said Iman.
As a result of his actions, the perpetrator is threatened with 6 years in prison. He is suspected of a number of layered articles, ranging from embezzlement, embezzlement, money laundering, violation of fiduciary guarantees, to misuse of personal data.
