Eight men steal bus in Bekasi

JAKARTA (JP): Eight men hijacked a bus on Jl. Cut Meutia near
Bekasi bus terminal on Tuesday night before it reached the
terminal.

Armed with machetes and sickles, the gang boarded the Agung
Bhakti bus plying Bekasi-Pulogadung route at 11 p.m. and
threatened to kill the driver, identified as Ferry, 24, if he did
not alight.

Ferry, a resident of Jl. Pondok Betung, Pondok Aren, in
Tangerang, had just stopped at a gas station near the depot to
buy gasoline. There were no passengers inside the bus when the
robbery took place.

The driver, who was left unhurt, reported the case to the
Bekasi Police afterward.

Police are still looking for the robbers. (jun)
