BANDUNG - The Bandung Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) arrested three suspected perpetrators of forging various types of documents ranging from diplomas, ID cards, driving licenses, BPKB, to family cards.

Bandung Police Chief Kombes Hendra Kurniawan said the three people had the initials RFH, RMK, and MBI. They do this by placing advertisements online.

"Consumers from various parties enter the website directly to the WhatsApp application, the DP of 50 percent is done in two days, the documents are sent," said Hendra, quoted by Antara, Monday, June 14.

In order to convince potential customers, Hendra said the perpetrators said the blanks used were original and not the result of digital editing.

According to Hendra, they also claimed that the blanks used were the same as the official ones. So that potential consumers are tempted by the services of these fake documents.

"The website's name is blessed with documents. It was explained that they have the ability to make documents on request. The location is in Baleendah," he said.

According to Hendra, in one month the perpetrators can earn around Rp. 15 million to Rp. 20 million. The forgery of the documents is suspected to have been carried out by the perpetrators since two years ago.

With this crime, Hendra appealed to the public not to be easily tempted by document-making services that do not have official authority from state agencies.

"There is no institution other than those appointed to issue documents," he said.

Hendra said the suspects were charged with Article 264 sub 263 Jo. 55 Jo. 56 of the Criminal Code with a threat of 8 years in prison.
