The National Police and the Immigration Enforcement Investigation Directorate made the arrest on Friday last week.
There were 112 Bank Central Asia (BCA) customers' accounts robbed with a total loss of Rp 1.25 billion.
"[The suspects] installed skimmers and cameras on the ATM machines," said Pol. Brig. Gen. Arief Sulistyanto, Special Economics Crime Director, in his office on Monday, March 3, 2014.
Arief said that the skimmers were used to copy the customers' data on the ATM card magnetic strip, while the cameras were installed to record PIN numbers through hand movements.
The police started the investigation after a report from BCA. "This might happen to other banks' customers, but only BCA has reported it," Arief said.
The suspects installed skimmers and cameras on the ATM machines at three hospitals in Jakarta, Pondok Indah, Husada, Pantai Indah Kapuk and one in Bandung, St Borromeus.
Arief said that the syndicate members would be charged with theft under the Criminal Code (KUHP) article on Informatics and Electronic Transaction Law and Money Laundering Law. The police confiscated Rp 726 million in cash, 11 cellular phones, 14 SIM cards, a laptop, 24 ATM cards and six identification cards belonging to the suspects.
BCA CEO Jahja Setiaatmadja, admitted that it was difficult to supervise ATM transactions, especially with 2 million transactions per day and joint ATM system with other banks. "If it is our own ATM, supervision is easier," he said.
Jahja said that BCA had compensated all customers affected by the burglary. "We have repaid all of them," he said at the Police Headquarters yesterday.
