Cable thieves stop train service, again

TANGERANG: Cable thieves disrupted trains services between
Tangerang and Jakarta for the second time in a month on Friday.

Ahmad Sujadi, spokesman of state railway operator PT KAI, said
that 18 trains were affected by the theft.

He said the disturbance was worse than the first incident on
Feb. 6, because over 400 meters of cable were cut and it would
take 10 hours to repair.

According to Ahmad, the theft took place at about 2 a.m. on
Friday. He said that although the alarm sounded, the thieves
managed to escape.

"It seems it was the same group as the last time," said Ahmad.
