Crimes at Pulogadung<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
The Pulogadung bus station in eastern Jakarta is becoming
\ninfested with pickpockets and robbers who prey on passengers.<\/p>\n
One day during the recent Christmas and New Year holidays I
\nsaw a gang of youths grabbing the necklace of a young lady at
\nknife point just before she was getting on a bus.<\/p>\n
I failed to give a hand, knowing that the gang comprised more
\nthan five people. The lady was defenseless and obviously
\noverwhelmed with terror.<\/p>\n
Judging from the fearless manner of the youths when they
\nconducted their crime, I theorized that they must have powerful
\nbacking around the bus terminal.<\/p>\n
This was not the first time I witnessed a robbery in its
\nstarkest realities. The second one was when the same gang of
\nyouths preyed on a man who was also getting on a bus. The youths
\nsurrounded this man and frisked him before finding a wallet which
\nthey took without the man being aware of what had happened.<\/p>\n
I was equally despaired since I could not do anything to help
\nthe man. I can only appeal to the police to place watchful eyes
\non this gang of youths so that bus passengers will feel more
\nsecure during their trips.<\/p>\n
