Police confiscate 18 stolen cars<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Police confiscated 18 stolen vehicles
\nfrom 16 alleged car thieves, including vehicles from three buyers
\nof the stolen cars, over the last two weeks, an official said on
\nTuesday.<\/p>\n
Chief of the city police detective unit Col. Alex Bambang
\nRiatmojo said the cars included a dark blue BMW 230i sedan and a
\ngreen metallic Timor.<\/p>\n
Alex declined to reveal details on the arrest of the 16
\nsuspects, although he said they were arrested in separate
\nincidents.<\/p>\n
\"Preliminary investigations show that the thieves worked in
\ngroups, using various methods and moving from one area to
\nanother.\"<\/p>\n
One of the suspects, 32-year-old Bagiarto said he was a former
\nemployee of Bank Sahid Gajah Perkasa, and had been in charge of
\nmaintaining the company's operation vehicles.<\/p>\n
\"I made a substitute key of the firm's car and gave it to my
\nfriend, Boy Pribadi, who then stole the car when it was parked in
\nthe company's parking lot,\" Bagiarto said.<\/p>\n
He said he had no regrets about his action, as he was angry
\nwith his former company. He said that when he was dismissed from
\nhis office a few months ago, the office did not provide
\nsatisfactory compensation.<\/p>\n
\"But we had not sold the car, as we were arrested shortly
\nafter the theft took place.\"<\/p>\n
Alex invited city residents whose vehicles had been stolen to
\nexamine the vehicles displayed at city police headquarters on Jl.
\nSudirman in South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Alex said the recent seizure of vehicles was carried out by
\npolice detectives in their efforts to maintain security during
\nthe campaigning period. (emf)<\/p>",
