Motorcycle thieves nabbed

BOGOR: Police arrested two suspects in connection to vehicle
theft and confiscated four stolen motorcycles from them, an
officer said on Monday.

Chief of South Bogor Police subprecinct Adj. Comr. Sartono
said the suspects, Dadang, 35, and Karim, 38, were arrested late
on Friday following a report from a Bogor citizen, Risman, who
had his motorcycle stolen by the pair.

A day before his Honda Astrea was stolen, Karim, apparently an
acquaintance of Risman, came over to Risman's house and slept
there one night. In the morning, Risman walked to the mosque to
perform Friday prayers, leaving Karim alone in his house. Upon
his return, the house was empty and his motorcycle was gone.

Karim was arrested in Ciawi market and admitted that he had
given the stolen motorcycles to Dadang, who would sell the
vehicles for between Rp 1 million and Rp 2 million each to ojek
(motorcycle taxi) drivers in South Bogor. Dadang was arrested a
few hours later. --JP
