JAKARTA (JP): A thief broke into a restaurant in Senayan in
Central Jakarta Saturday and stole Rp 1.5 million (US$630) in
cash, a facsimile machine and a telephone.

Sgt. Supratman of the Central Jakarta Police precinct said the
thief entered the Pondok Laguna restaurant through a ventilation
duct in the bathroom in the early morning.

"The thief then entered the restaurant manager's office and
stole the money from a safety box," Supratman said.

He said the thief also stole the facsimile machine and the
telephone from the manager's room. "The thief then escaped the
same way."

The restaurant's security guard found a mess in the manager's
office when he opened the restaurant in the morning.

"The security guard saw the safety box was open and the
telephone and the facsimile machine were missing," said
Supratman.

The security guard then reported the theft to Tanah Abang
Police subprecinct, he said.

According to Supratman, the police presume the thief was
someone who knew the restaurant well. (jun)
