'Ojek' robber fatally mobbed

TANGERANG (JP): An ojek (motorcycle taxi) robber was mobbed to
death by residents of Cempaka village of Cisoka district in
Tangerang after he allegedly wounded the vehicle's owner and
tried to flee with the bike late Thursday.

Chief of Cisoka police subprecinct First Lt. Sujito identified
the dead suspect as Udy Setiadi bin Akub, 30.

Sujito said Udy earlier pretended to be a passenger but on the
way he threatened the ojek driver, Nurjen, 30, with a sharp
weapon.

"The incident took place at around 9:30 p.m.. Udy asked Nurjen
to take him to Sentul village where an open-air movie was being
shown," Sujito said.

However, Nurjen, a resident of Kampung Pasir in Balaraja, had
the chance to scream and this alerted nearby residents, who then
chased Udy as he tried to speed off with the motorcycle.

"Residents were able to catch him about 10 kilometers from the
scene," he said. (41/emf)
