Rp 400m stolen in robbery

BOGOR: Four armed-criminals forced a doctor and his family to hand over more than Rp 400 million worth of cash, diamonds, laptops and cellular phones during a violent robbery in Bogor early Tuesday.

Dr Adi Teruna Efendi's wife Yekti Hartati said the pair and their son and daughter-in-law were awoken by the robbers in their home in Villa Duta III, Baranangsiang, east Bogor at 3.30 a.m.

The robbers beat the house's security guard, Misran, before entering the house through the unlocked gate and forcing the family to hand over their valuables, she said.

The gang fled in a car parked near the house. -- JP
