JAKARTA (JP): Police arrested a Bogor resident on Wednesday
for allegedly stealing a car in Cimanggis, East Jakarta, five
hours earlier.

The suspect was spotted driving a stolen Suzuki Katana in
Ciracas by a Mobile Brigade patrol.

The officers chased the stolen car until they reached the
Ciracas toll road, Jakarta Police spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang
said yesterday.

The owner of the car, Johny Malonda, told police that his car
was stolen from in front of his house on Jl. Putri Tunggal at
11:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

The suspect, a 32-year-old resident of Palsi Gunung in Bogor,
used a duplicate key to start the car, Aritonang said.

He was being interrogated by City Police, he said. (04)
