Robbers run away with Rp 247 million<\/p>\n
BANDUNG (JP): Two robbers escaped with Rp 247 million
\n(US$105,000) in a daring daylight robbery here yesterday.<\/p>\n
The victims were three Bank of Tokyo employees who had just
\nwithdrawn cash from Bank Indonesia, a few kilometers from the
\ncrime scene.<\/p>\n
Eye witnesses said a robber, coming from nowhere, tried to
\nsnatch the bag from one of the bank employees, Herman, as he
\nclimbed out of a white Toyota Corona sedan at the Bank of Tokyo
\nbasement parking lot.<\/p>\n
The gunman fired a shot when Herman tried to resist the
\nsnatch, wounding Herman's fingers. The robber ran out of the
\nbasement toward an accomplice who was waiting on a motorcycle
\nwith the engine running.<\/p>\n
A bank security guard who tried to stop the criminals froze
\nwhen threatened with the pistol.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at about 12.30 p.m. when employees were
\nhaving lunch. It is believed the robbers were waiting at the car
\npark.<\/p>\n
\"The robber was well-built, wearing dark trousers and a gray
\nshirt,\" an eyewitness said. His face was not clearly visible
\nbecause he wore a helmet... his eyes were narrow.\"<\/p>\n
Lt. Col. Edmond Ilyas, Bandung police chief, said the
\nauthorities had found the cartridge the robber fired to unnerve
\nthe bank employees. (21\/pan)<\/p>",
