Fugitives shot after chase

UJUNGPANDANG: Local police have shot dead two of three men who
have been on the run for a month for stealing Rp 10.3 from a bank
client.

Police sources said yesterday the two fugitives identified
only as Ac, 20, and Dod, 21, were shot in the legs for trying to
escape in an early morning raid Thursday.

They are now being treated at the Bhayangkara police hospital.

Police said Ac, Dod and another friend, still unidentified,
stole the Rp 10.3 million early last month from a man who had
just withdrawn the money from a local bank.

The man stopped at a shop on Jl. A. Walanae on the way home
and was robbed on the way to his car, police said.

Ac and Dod told The Jakarta Post yesterday they had used the
money for a motorcycle, TV sets and clothes. "I have sold the
motorcycle," said Ac.

They said they had hidden in Galesong Utara district, 30
kilometers from Ujungpandang. (37/sur)
