SEMARANG: Police have arrested 51 people suspected of
truck robberies along the Central Java north coast, said Central
Java Police chief Maj. Gen. Nurfaizi.

"They were arrested after robbing trucks which carried basic
needs," Nurfaizi said.

Nurfaizi also ordered his personnel to shoot looters on the
spot, in line with orders from the National Police that looters
or rioters were to be shot if they were endangering others.

The Central Java Police have mobilized more than half of their
personnel to guard transportation activities expected to increase
during the holiday exodus of Idul Fitri. (har/01)
