Robbers steal truck, 27 tons of paper

BEKASI: A gang of robbers allegedly stole a truck loaded with
27.7 tons of raw paper early on Sunday when the truck driver,
Sumiaji, was dozing at a rest area along the Cikampek toll road
in Bekasi.

Sumiaji told Bekasi Police that the toll road was very quiet
at around 1 a.m. on Sunday. Sumiaji and his assistant were
sleeping when suddenly a gang of unidentified men approached them
and threatened to kill them. The gang members bound and gagged
the driver and his assistant before taking them to Serang,
Banten.

The victims were then thrown out of the truck on the side of
the toll road. They were helped by passing motorists and later
reported the case to the Bekasi Police.

However, they could not identify the suspected robbers,
because they claimed it was very dark.

The case is being investigated by Bekasi Police. -- Antara
