JAKARTA (JP): Two suspected robbers were shot dead, one was
\nwounded and two others arrested in separate raids in South
\nJakarta and Tangerang, West Java, over the weekend, police said.<\/p>\n
City police spokesman Lt Col. E. Aritonang said the five
\nsuspects were responsible for three different robberies.<\/p>\n
\"Three of the five suspects were shot because they resisted
\narrest,\" he said.<\/p>\n
He identified the two dead suspects as Hidayat and Abdullah,
\nthe wounded suspect as Ali Subhan and the two arrested suspects
\nas Sutarman and Rukmandar.<\/p>\n
Aritonang said that Hidayat, Ali, Sutarman and Rukmandar were
\nbelieved to be members of a group of robbers who last Monday
\nnight robbed two houses, one of which was owned by an Indian
\ncouple, on Jl. Margasatwa Raya in Pondok Labu, South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
In the robbery, he said, the group wounded the wife of Indian
\nnational Ravendra Moona and made off with Rp 550,000 in cash,
\njewelry, a mobile phone, a wallet and some electronic equipment.<\/p>\n
The spokesman said the other dead suspect, Abdulllah, had been
\nwanted by the police ever since he robbed a resident of Kronjo,
\nTangerang, and made off with Rp 1.1 million in November last
\nyear.<\/p>\n
He said Abdullah was found early Friday while sleeping in a
\nsmall prayer house near his home in Kronjo subdistrict of
\nTangerang.<\/p>\n
\"He liked to sleep at the prayer house more than at his own
\nhouse. That's why we caught him there,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Aritonang said Abdullah was shot because he tried to attack
\nthe officers and yelled \"robber\" at them to make local residents
\nsuspicious of them. (cst)<\/p>",
