Police probe arson at station

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: The police have promised to probe the recent burning of a police station in Pagelaran, Tanggamus regency, and seek trial for those responsible.

Antara quoted chief detective Lt. Col. Yoyon Prasetyo at the provincial police office as saying here on Friday that no arrests had been made from the hundreds of residents and ojek (motorcycle taxi) drivers who burned down the police station last month.

The mob set the building on fire after police refused to let them lynch Tri Gunarto, 28, who robbed and killed 20-year-old motorcycle taxi driver Nizar. (rms)
