More police for tourists

DENPASAR: The local police increased the size of its Tourist
Police force and improved their facilities in a bid to curb
crimes committed by foreigners on the island, an officer said on
Saturday.

Bali Police spokesman Lt. Col. Y. Suyatmo said here his office
had named 14 foreigners as criminal suspects during the first
three months of the year.

The suspects were mostly implicated in fraud cases, while the
remaining foreigners were involved in drug cases, he said.

"The force members were recruited following tight and accurate
selection procedures," Suyatmo said. (zen/01)
