Bogor hookers arrested

BOGOR (JP): Bogor police arrested 167 prostitutes, 14 alleged
customers and two brothel operators in a raid on several places
in three districts on Tuesday.

Bogor City Police chief Supt. Bambang Wasgito told reporters
on Wednesday that the people were picked up from street stalls,
hotels, villas and karaoke halls.

"They were charged with disturbing public order," Bambang
said. He did not say what punishment the people would get for the
offense.

The operations were held following tips from locals. "We want
prostitutes' activities to gradually stop prior to the Islamic
holy month of Ramadhan, which falls in December."

He said the next target would be illicit gambling dens and the
illegal sale of alcohol." (21/sur)
