JAKARTA (JP): Police have arrested a 46-year-old man for
\ndefrauding Rp 50 million by posing as a bomb squad officer
\nassigned to search for bombs in commercial properties, an
\nofficial said.<\/p>\n
City police spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang said over the
\nweekend the suspected impostor, Rudy Hariyadi Harun, 46, was
\ncaught by accident on Monday last week at a police subprecinct in
\nSouth Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"Rudi was being interrogated by police in connection with a
\nsexual harassment case when a bank employee recognized him,\"
\nAritonang said.<\/p>\n
The bank employee, who was at the police station on a routine
\nmatter, was at first confused because Rudi had told his office
\nthat he was a member of the city's bomb squad.<\/p>\n

\ncarrying a letter signed by the squad commander, Lt. Col.
\nNurhadi, which authorized him to search the building for bombs,\"
