Five suspects have been arrested in an ATM scam in North Jakarta, police said on Thursday.
One of the suspects, Doni, was caught when he was about to withdraw money from a Bank Mega ATM on Jalan Enggano in Tanjung Priok. The police confiscated 20 cellphones, hundreds of cellphone SIM cards and Rp 120 million ($ 12, 282) in cash.
Doni, believed to be the group leader, had been a police target in cyber crimes.
The chief detective of the North Jakarta Police, Comsr. Adex Yudiswan, told Metro TV the group gained access to the victim’s bank data by pretending to be bank officials who wanted to give them customer rewards.
Adex said the suspects were being interrogated for possible connections to this week’s ATM attacks in Bali.
