Cop suspected for helping robbery

JAKARTA: A police officer, identified as Brig. Sus, was named
a suspect in an armed robbery that killed a security guard in
Penjaringan, North Jakarta, on Jan. 11.

A detective of the North Jakarta police precinct revealed that
the suspect had been arrested on Friday and had undergone
questioning.

"The suspect did nothing to stop the robbery while he was
there. We want to know his involvement in the robbery," the
