JAKARTA (JP): Seven armed men robbed a branch of state Bank
\nRakyat Indonesia on Jl. Garuda in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on
\nFriday, making away with the bank's computers and a television
\nset.<\/p>\n
Central Jakarta Police chief Lt. Col. Iman Haryatna said the
\nseven robbers, who were armed with an FN-type gun and machetes,
\narrived at the bank at 5:30 a.m. in a blue Kijang van and
\nimmediately overpowered one of the bank's guards, identified as
\nDaryono, 23.<\/p>\n
\"One of the suspects pointed the gun at Daryono, who was
\nsitting in front of the bank, and then tied him up,\" Iman said,
\nadding that the robbers then entered the bank by forcibly opening
\nthe bank's door with a crowbar.<\/p>\n
The men found no money at the bank and instead stole nine
\ncomputers and a 14-inch television set before leaving the bank in
\ntheir van, he said<\/p>\n
Two bank security guards, who arrived at the site that
\nmorning, found Daryono still tied up, he said, adding that police
\nreceived a report on the robbery at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
The bank's branch manager Deden R said the bank did not keep
\nany money after it closed on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The bank was closed on Friday because of rumors that a large-
\nscale riot would occur, following the death of a student and a
\npolice officer in Thursday's demonstration, Deden said. (jun)<\/p>",
