Officers nabbed for car theft

BOGOR (JP): Bogor Police chief Col. Edi Darnadi said on
Wednesday that three of his personnel had been captured for their
alleged indirect involvement in a series of car thefts over the
past year.

"They are Warrant Officer Ml, Sgt. Maj. Ag and Sgt. Maj. Nn.
The three are officers at the Bogor Police," Edi told reporters
at his office.

He said the three officers gave advice to two gangs of car
thieves, namely the Ferrari gang and the Marlboro gang, after the
gangs had stolen the cars.

"Gang members always asked the officers' opinions about what
to do and where to sell the stolen cars," he said, while citing
that each gang had managed to sell five cars out of town.

Ferrari's members are Norman, alias Cap Lang, Martanto, alias
Boy, Cecep Suryana, Rafi and Suroso. Marlboro's members are
Saman, alias Tompel, Hasanudin Sitepu, Wasrul alias Bankin, Toto
alias Oin and Mahfudin alias Udin.

Police learned about the three officers' involvement after
they had captured members of both gangs on Sunday. The three
officers were arrested the following day.

"The members of the gangs informed police detectives about the
involvement of the three police officers," said Edi. (24/nvn)
