Army chief's mansion robbed

SURABAYA: A group of unidentified men burgled the two-story
mansion of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raden Hartono, located in the
posh Sinar Galaxy housing complex Sunday, police said yesterday.

Police said the robbers, maybe four people, tied up the maid
before making off with two television sets, a laser disc player,
a cellular telephone, five luxury wristwatches and dozens of
items of clothing.

The mansion was used by Hartono's relatives as a boutique.
Eyewitnesses said the housemaid was the only one at home when the
robbery took place at about 11.30 a.m.

The robbers broke into the house after breaking a rolling
door.

Bystanders were unaware of the robbery because they thought
the strangers were regular customers, the said police, who put
estimated loss at "considerably more than Rp 10 million".
