BOGOR - Cileungsi Police dismantled the practice of mixing subsidized gas in Pasir Angin Village, Cileungsi, Bogor Regency, West Java.
The Head of Cileungsi Police, Kompol Zulkarnaen, explained that from the disclosure of this case, 200 LPG gas cylinders were secured measuring 3 kilograms and 228 LPG cylinders measuring 12 kilograms.
"From this disclosure, we secured evidence in the form of three cars, 79 continued gas injection equipment, 104 plastic ice cubes, 200 3-kilogram gas cylinders, 228 12 kilogram gas cylinders, gas cylinder seal, gas cylinder rubber, and four cellphones," he said in a statement in Bogor, West Java (West Java), Monday 6 March, confiscated by Antara.
According to him, members of the Police arrested six suspects from the disclosure of the practice, namely the initials P, WG, S, HA, CA and S.
He said the modus operandi of the suspects was to inject gas from a 3 kilogram tube which is a government subsidy program into a 12-kilogram LPG cylinder.
They took advantage of the sale of 12 kilograms of LPG gas which costs more expensive because it is without subsidies.
The six suspects, said Zulkarnaen, have their respective roles in mixing gas, ranging from injecting gas into tubes, loading and unloading gas cylinders, to looking for gas cylinders.
However, one of the main suspects with the initials ES has not been arrested by the police. He claimed to have named ES on the wanted list (DPO).
"Currently, we are still pursuing another perpetrator with the initials ES, who is none other than the main actor in the misuse of gas cylinder filling," he said.
Zulkarnaen explained that the suspects were charged with Article 55 of Law No. 22 of 2021 concerning oil and natural gas, as amended by Article 40 of the Substitute Regulation of Law in 2022 concerning the creation of work in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR 60 billion.
