Burglary at DPR's secretariat office

JAKARTA: Burglars broke into the secretariat of the House of Representatives' (DPR) Special Committee office on Wednesday night and rifled through documents.

Head of the secretariat, Iskandar Nasution, however, claimed that none of the documents or any valuables were missing, Antara reported.

He said the documents targeted by the burglars included the Election Bill, the Political Party Bill and the Law on Police and State Defense.

Police said the burglars accessed the room by breaking a glass wall. A 1.5 meter-long piece of broken glass was seen in the room.

About 10 police officers and a trained dog were at the site Thursday morning. --JP
