Gang of robbers target golf resort

TANGERANG (JP): About 10 armed robbers broke into the PT
Takara Golf Resort's office in the village of Tapos, Tigaraksa,
and stole two safety boxes and two sets of golf clubs early
yesterday morning, police said.

But the contents of the safety boxes were not known because
the company's executives had yet to be questioned.

Police said the burglars -- armed with knifes and sickles --
broke into the office about 2 a.m. after tying up five security
guards.

One of the guards, Rusdi, 40, suffered head injuries when he
attempted to wrestle with the robbers, police said.

Police estimate that the gang escaped with more than Rp 60
million (US$23,080).

The firm's management refused to comment on the case.

"Please leave this office immediately. We don't want to
comment because it is now in the hands of the police," one staff
member told reporters. (41)
