250-meter power wire 'stolen'

JAKARTA: Train commuters between Tangerang and Jakarta had to
take alternative modes of transportation on Sunday morning
because the main electric cable had gone missing.

"We discovered that a 250-meter section of cable was gone, we
believe it was stolen, at about 4:50 a.m., so we've had to cancel
eight (train) journeys," spokesman for Greater Jakarta
operational area of state railway operator PT KAI, Ahmad Sujadi,
was quoted as saying by Detikcom news portal.

The case was reported to the police, he added. -- JP
