PALEMBANG, South Sumatra: Police in Central Lampung have
seized two home-made rifles and arrested the two people they
believe are the owners.

Spokesman for the southern Sumatra police command, Second Lt.

He said the suspects told the authorities during
interrogations that they bought the rifles from a man in Ogan
Komering Ilir for Rp 150,000 (US$70) each four months ago.

They also admitted using the firearms in several robberies
which netted them millions of rupiah. They were arrested as they
were about to rob a family in northern Lampung, Antara
