Exposing Rental Car Theft Syndicate in Tangerang: Polri Urged for Swift Action
In a recent development, legal practitioner Anrico Pasaribu has urged the police to swiftly uncover the car rental theft syndicate in Tangerang, which has caused significant losses to many parties. Pasaribu emphasized the importance of dismantling this criminal network to break the chain of organized crime that is increasingly alarming.
Anrico Pasaribu highlighted the structured nature of this criminal activity, involving document forgery and the distribution of stolen goods. He stressed the urgency for law enforcement agencies to act quickly and decisively in apprehending the main culprits, particularly individuals known as IH and RH, who are still at large.
Impact on Victims and Law Enforcement Response
Anrico Pasaribu pointed out that the case has had a considerable impact on both Indonesian Navy personnel and car rental business owners who have fallen victim to this syndicate. The substantial scale of losses underscores the highly organized nature of this network.
Furthermore, Anrico commended the Indonesian Navy for promptly addressing a related incident that resulted in the death of a car rental company owner, known as IAR. The Navy has taken swift action by detaining involved personnel, conducting a reconstruction at the crime scene, and transferring the case to military prosecutors for further proceedings.
Expert Recommendations and Industry Response
Dar Edi Yoga, the General Chairman of the Indonesian Journalists Association, praised the Indonesian Navy’s swift response to the shooting incident involving one of its members at the Tangerang-Merak Toll Road Rest Area. He emphasized the importance of enforcing the law promptly and without bias.
Both Anrico and Dar Edi Yoga called on the Indonesian Car Rental Association (ARMI) to evaluate their rental procedures, especially the keyless rental service. They recommended implementing preventive measures such as verifying renter documents through a population-based data system (e-KTP), installing GPS trackers on rental vehicles, and enforcing stricter document requirements.
In conclusion, the collaboration between legal experts, law enforcement agencies, and industry stakeholders is crucial in combating organized crime and enhancing security measures within the car rental sector to prevent misuse by irresponsible parties.
