JAKARTA (JP): At least 117 gamblers, including 26 women, were
arrested early Saturday morning when police raided their illicit
den in downtown Jakarta.

The raid was the second big bust after officers raided a
nearby gambling den Friday morning, rounding up 228 gamblers.
Confiscated from Saturday's raid on a shop/house on Jl. Mangga
Besar were Rp 4,138,000 (US$1,750) in cash, a safe, two roulette
machines and thousands of coins.

However, police spokesman Lt. Col. Iman Haryatna said that out
of those being held Saturday morning only 13 would be charged
because the rest were believed to be spectators. (tis)
