Ingenious burglary

Ingenious burglary

From Suara pembaruan

On Dec. 10, 2001 burglars broke into the office of Asuransi Bintang through a water tunnel connecting Majapahit complex and Majapahit canal and bored a 5-meter-long underground passage to the branch manager's room and then made their way through the ceiling of the office of Bumi Maritim Internasional beside it to the place where the safe was located.

The burglars made off with more than Rp 600 million. The burglary was then reported to the police who later conducted an investigation. A similar incident also occurred in Harmony Plaza some time back but the police have not yet been able to catch the culprits.

I would like to appeal to the police to show some seriousness in investigating this crime as crimes of this sort often take place around the presidential palace.
