Dozens of hoodlums netted in Jambi

JAMBI: Dozens of hoodlums were netted in a joint operation
conducted by local security authorities to clamp down on crime
and drug abuse.

Jambi Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Allorante told Antara here
on Saturday that the hoodlums were netted in a housing complex,
which was home to about 160 prostitutes.

"The housing complex was considered a safe haven for
criminals," he said.

Using two specially-trained dogs to sniff illegal drugs, the
security personnel also confiscated unlicensed motorbikes, drugs
and ten crates of liquor.

Allorante said that he had ordered his men to shoot criminals
who resisted police arrest. --Antara
