Police kill alleged robber

JAKARTA (JP): A 41-year-old alleged robber was shot dead by
police detectives while resisting arrest in Cibitung, Bekasi,
early Friday morning.

Cibitung allegedly used as a meeting point by the gang.

The officers found the house empty, and Basirun attempted to
escape by assaulting the officers with a hoe.
