Hail metro police!<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
Near the end of 1996, the Metro Jaya Police's undercover unit
\nsucceeded in busting a large-scale shoplifting racket in Jakarta
\nand Central Java.<\/p>\n
Quite an astonishing achievement, really. And why not? The
\nring managed to rake in about Rp 6 billion. Fantastic, indeed!
\nWhat was even more amazing was that the ring consisted mainly of
\nwomen who used vans for their operations and to drop members at
\ntheir chosen locations. Members posed as shoppers, then proceeded
\nto lift valuable household ware.<\/p>\n
Supermarkets, department stores and shops were not their only
\nareas of operation. They also visited warehouses where such
\nmerchandise is stored. They really were a professional
\nshoplifting team. The more so, if we consider their network and
\nthe volume of the merchandise, which is said to fill 10 trucks
\nand two vans, totaling Rp 6 billion.<\/p>\n
Beside our salutations to the Metro Jaya Police, we cannot
\nhide our sadness about the fact that most members of the ring
\nwere women, who are usually attributed with a soft and mild
\ncharacter.<\/p>\n
We hope there will be no more shocking news about thieving
\nEves. I shudder at the thought!<\/p>\n
