Cikampek toll road not safe for trucks

JAKARTA: Trucks carrying valuable loads have once again become the targets of robbers operating on the Cikampek toll road.

Early Friday, six men in a Kijang minivan approached a truck parked just outside the rest area at Kilometer 60. Truck driver Eman Sulaeman, 35, and his assistant, Solihin, 29, were sleeping.

The robbers pushed the two into their car and drove off with the truck, which was loaded with iron bars. Eman and Solihin were later dumped out of the minivan five kilometers from the scene.

Cikampek police suspect that the robbers are "old hands" who have yet to be apprehended. The police have reminded all truck drivers to park their trucks inside the rest area to ensure security. -- Antara
