JAKARTA: Police captured 12 prostitutes, nine transvestites

during a raid early on Sunday morning in several areas in Central
Jakarta.

Menteng police subprecinct chief Comr. Syahardianto revealed
that the people were apprehended on Jl. Blora and Jl. Agus Salim.

"Some of them will be sent to the social rehabilitation center
