T
wo foreigners from China and Taiwan have been apprehended for allegedly stealing money from an ATM in Mangga Dua Market in North Jakarta, a police officer has said.
The crime was uncovered after two ATM guards found that the suspects could withdraw money without any receipts.
The suspects were then reported to officers from the East Jakarta Police, who happened to be guarding the money supplies to ATMs in the area.
East Jakarta Police spokesman Comr. Wasiem said the officers immediately followed up on the report.
"When the police officers checked them, they had the transaction receipt but it was blank," Wasiem said as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com on Monday evening.
The cops immediately took them in along with a cellphone, the blank transaction receipt, a black bag, nine ATM cards from Taiwan and some cash, Wasiem added. (agn)
