ersonnel from the criminal investigation unit at the Jujuhan Police in Bungo, Jambi, apprehended five people on Friday for allegedly stealing assets belonging to mining company Artamulia Tata Pratama (ATP) Jujuhan.
The arrest came from information provided by an ATP Jujuhan employee, who reported an alleged theft of used track-load rails (excavator wheels) from the company.
The police arrest five suspects: RC, 35, YS, 24, HS, 36, AY, 23, and RW, 23.
They allegedly committed their crime in the south workshop area of a coal mine owned by ATP in Tanjung Belit village, Jujuhan district, on Wednesday.

During the arrest, the police confiscated Rp 1.6 million in cash allegedly left from the sale of the load rails. (ebf)
