Abdul Muis-Cimahi minibus route

From Pikiran Rakyat

The Abdul Muis-Cimahi minibus route in the periphery of Bandung in West Java is a favorite place for robbers to operate, especially at night.

On March 14 after 11 p.m. my mother, mother-in-law, sister and wife were held up by five robbers on a minibus plying that route. "Hands up, don't move!". Under threat of knives, my family had to surrender their jewelry, watches, a bag with a camera and some money, and even their umbrellas. The articles were worth Rp 2.5 million.

Having been to a party at a hotel on the southern ring road, my family was dropped off on Jl. Kopo by a hotel bus and they boarded the fateful minibus to go home.

When the driver, apparently in league with the robbers, dropped off my relatives on a lonely stretch, the robbers tried to grab my sister. Luckily my mother fought them off.

A young man, who happened to be in the vicinity, led my family to a security post. One of the security men drove his car in search of the minibus (registration number D 1971..) but couldn't find it. We thank Mr. Herwanto and Mr. Wahyudin, the security men, and the others for their quick action and for help in filing a report with the Babakan Ciparay district police.
