Cashier robbed of Rp 30m

SOLO, Central Java (JP): Thieves ran away with Rp 30 million (US$13,043) when they snatched a bag containing the salaries of a cigarette company carried by its cashier on Friday.

The PT Djitoe Solo's cashier, Ridwan, 60, was leaving by car from the Bank Central Asia office and found that he had a flat tire.

"I stopped and unsuspectingly got out. Then all of a sudden from behind me two men on a motorcycle came up and grabbed the bag inside the car and bolted westwards," Ridwan told Antara.

Police believe it was the two culprits who punctured the tires of Ridwan's car who then waited for the right moment to move in. The two men rode a Yamaha RX King motorbike, with license plate AD-4542. (mds)
