Singaporean robbed in hotel<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A Singaporean woman has been robbed in her room
\nat the Park Royal hotel in the Ancol dreamland complex in North
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
The suspect, who is still at large, told hotel staff he was a
\n'safety officer' and had to search the victim's room alone, City
\nPolice Spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang said yesterday.<\/p>\n
"The suspect allegedly forced his way into the victim's room
\nat 8:15 p.m. on Sunday night and took a Singaporean passport, a
\nlaptop computer and some Singaporean cash," Aritonang said.<\/p>\n
He said the suspect allegedly assaulted the Singaporean,
\nidentified by the police as Mismanta Delmia, 35.<\/p>\n
A source at the hotel confirmed the incident but could not say
\nwhether the attacker used a weapon or not.<\/p>\n
The source, who refused to be identified, also said that
\nDelmia had stayed in the hotel for about a week.<\/p>\n
Aritonang said the suspect learned the victim's identity from
\na hotel employee when he called and said he wanted to book room
\n535.<\/p>\n
"When the hotel official explained that the room was occupied
\nby a Singaporean, the suspect seemed so upset," he said.<\/p>\n
He also refused to have any other room offered by the hotel's
\nemployee, Aritonang said.<\/p>\n
"It may just have been the suspect's trick to pick a victim."<\/p>\n
The hotel's assistant manager, Leonard Davinci, reported the
\nrobbery to the North Jakarta police precinct later at 2 a.m.
\nyesterday after he received the victim's report. (cst)<\/p>",
