Police nab thieves on ferry

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: The South Lampung police nabbed seven thieves who had been operating on ferries servicing the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java, Antara reported.

Mayor Haryadi of the South Lampung precinct said the thieves, arrested separately last week, were stealing the cars and belongings of ferry passengers.

One of the seven arrested was believed to be the "brain" behind a well organized syndicate which has been preying on passengers using the ferries between Bakaheuni and Merak.

They appear to be a well organized syndicate, he added. (emb)
