Robbers in Bali net Rp 100 million

DENPASAR, Bali (JP): Two men made off with Rp 100 million in
cash after a daylight robbery here on Thursday afternoon.

The robbery, on Jl. W.R. Supratman, occurred just 300 hundred
meters from Bali Police Headquarters.

It took place after three company employees withdrew money
from Bank Dagang Bali's central office on Jl. Gajah Mada and
transported it by car to the Bank Dagang Bali branch on Jl. W.R.
Supratman.

Two of the employees, Made Sudiarta and Made Suwela, were in
the car with the money, while the other, Wayan Girisa, followed
on a motorcycle.

As they neared W.R. Supratman branch, two men on a motorcycle
cornered the car. One of them opened the door and pointed a gun
at Sudiarta's head. He then grabbed the bag containing the money.

"Girisa tried to chase the robbers but stopped after they
fired at him twice," a source said.

A police source told The Jakarta Post that the money belonged
to clothing company Siddharta. (10)
