Asking money by force

Asking money by force

From Pelita

Parents are complaining about the unpleasant things experienced by their children in the Depok area. Irresponsible young people like to rob the children of their money and other belongings.

About two weeks ago a senior high school student was held up by a young man who had been drinking. He robbed the student of his wristwatch and a Rp 20,000 banknote which was intended to pay for school fees. The robber pointed his knife at the student and took hold of his hair. He also robbed another student a few days later using the same trick.

It is high time the police took necessary measures to stop such nasty practices and prevent things from going from bad to worse.
