Four men caught with pen guns

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Police detectives seized this week a
revolver, three pen guns and bullets following the arrest of four
people in two separate incidents.

City police chief of detectives Col. Alex Bambang Riatmodjo
identified on Friday the first two suspects as businessman
Turawan, 28, and laborer Saman, 28. Both come from the same
neighborhood in Nagrak village in Gunung Putri, Bogor.

"They were apprehended on Monday evening loitering around Mal
Pondok Indah in South Jakarta, with a revolver and two bullets.
They were obviously there to rob people. They bought the revolver
in Bandung, West Java," Alex said at Jakarta Police.

The other two suspects, whose names Alex declined to reveal,
were arrested on Wednesday night on Jl. Otista in East Jakarta,
after allegedly attempting to sell three pen guns to undercover
cops, for Rp 2 million (US$285) each.

"One of the two bought the pen guns in the Senayan area for Rp
210,000, and claims to be a staff member of the secretary-general
of the Indonesian Shooting Association (Perbakin). They said they
obtained about 15 bullets, from what was left after Perbakin
training sessions. They were trying to cheat the cops, who
immediately arrested the men." (ylt)
