Fence buries stolen goods

JAKARTA (JP): A fence, who specialize in stripping motorcycles, was busted by local police after they discovered the stolen goods hidden in the least expected place -- buried in his backyard.

Yogyakarta chief detective Capt. Budiarto said police have unearthed parts of motorcycles, including fuel tanks and frames, from the man's home in Jangkal village in the Sleman district, the Antara news agency reported.

"We've been watching him for sometime but were unable to arrest him because we lacked evidence," Budiarto said. "Continually monitoring his activities finally enabled us to discover where he hid the stolen goods."

"He was very discreet," Budiarto emphasized. (emb)
