130 students netted

JAKARTA (JP): About 130 students, mostly high school
students, have been netted in a crime operation, code-named
Operasi Wijayakusuma, an official said.

The operation is especially to keep the crime rate down during
the month of Ramadhan.

Spokesman for Jakarta Military Command, Lt. Col. Didi Supandi,
told The Jakarta Post yesterday that the students were detained
for carrying knives, prescription drugs and pornographic items.

Some of the students were also involved in street brawls,
assault and vandalism.

The students were temporarily detained at nearby police
stations for questioning before being released, Supandi said.

Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen. Wiranto said recently
that the municipal chapter of the National Stability Coordination
Agency would go all out against any criminal acts during the
current fasting month of Ramadhan.

"We have to nip any criminal acts in the bud during the
fasting month," he said. (30)
