Couple robbed of Rp 9.2 million

JAKARTA (JP): Five men armed with knives stole Rp 9.2 million
in cash and jewelry from a couple in West Jakarta Sunday
afternoon.

The left tire of the couple's sedan deflated en route to Jl.
Bandengan Utara. While a man at a service shop helped them fix
the tire the five assailants approached the couple.

Victims So Soen Lay, 42, and his wife Lusi Zen, 33, told the
Tambora district police that the robbers ordered the couple to
get into the car and threatened to kill them if they resisted.

So and Lusi surrendered all their belongings: a Rp 4 million
gold ring, Rp 3 million in cash, a necklace, and a wrist watch.

Lusi speculated the tire had been deflated by the men as she
recognized one of them at the Jembatan Tiga junction.

"I recognized the one dressed in a blue short-sleeved shirt,
Lusi said. (11)
