The South Tangerang Police have arrested a housewife in Tangerang regency, Banten, for fraud involving 25 credit cards.

The police's criminal unit head, Adj. Comr. Alexander, said on Thursday that the suspect, identified as Lilianni, 33, reportedly stole the credit cards on Jan. 19.

At the time, she went to a karaoke bar in Penjaringan, North Jakarta, with two friends, including victim Susan, 54.

Lilianni reportedly suddenly left the bar while her friends remained there.

"The victim did not realize at the time that her 25 credit cards had been stolen by the suspect," said Alexander as quoted by wartakotalive.com on Thursday.

The victim realized that her credit cards were missing the next day after she received a message from a bank.

The message said that a Rp 31 million transaction had been made on her credit card.

Susan immediately reported the suspect to the police and they tracked down Lilianni.

She was arrested on Wednesday in Pantai Indah Kapuk, North Jakarta, after a plainclothes police officer invited her to a karaoke hall.

"She admitted that she had stolen 25 credit cards and had used them to buy luxury goods," Alexander said. (agn)
