Officer arrested for illegal weapons

JAKARTA (JP): South Jakarta Police officers arrested an
Indonesian Navy officer on Monday for illegal possession of
firearms during a routine nighttime Kilat Jaya operation.

South Jakarta Police chief Lt. Col. Edward Aritonang
identified the suspect as Indonesian Navy Chief. Sgt. Nahtian
Siagian.

"We caught him on Monday night dancing away in a dangdut music
disco in Blok M, South Jakarta," Edward said on Tuesday.

He said Siagian was in possession of, among other things, an
FN gun with 11 bullets, a homemade pistol and a pen gun with five
bullets.

"I can't give you more details since Siagian is still being
interrogated. The weapons he had on him had no permit." (ylt)
