Police receive vehicle gifts

JAKARTA (JP): Automotive company PT Indomobil donated on
Friday two patrol vehicles to the traffic directorate of the
National Police.

Indomobil's president Subronto Laras officiated at the
handover of the cars to Brig. Gen. Suparto, head of the traffic
directorate in Jakarta.

Suparto said the two Suzuki Karimun cars would be used to
patrol major thoroughfares and toll roads by officers of the
traffic accident investigation team.

"The team is in charge of helping victims and investigating
accidents before being handled by officers of the local police
precincts," Suparto told Antara.

Subronto said that besides facilitating police work, the
assistance would also enable a try-out for the vehicles powered
by 1000cc machines.

Suzuki Karimun cars are the latest model designed by
Indomobil.

"We want to know about their capability and efficiency," he
said, adding that the cars had been designed since 1995, with
only 70 units manufactured so far. (hhr)
