They were arrested in various places throughout the country, chief detective Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said. "We are pursuing 10 people we believe have played significant roles in the crime."

He said the police had recently received reports of similar crimes from bank customers in Lampung and Bandung.

"Please be patient. We will arrest the perpetrators," he said.
