Rp 800m robber shot in Cepu

SEMARANG: One of the four criminals who attempted to snatch Rp
800 million from employees of the state-owned forestry company PT
Perhutani in Cepu, Blora regency, was shot dead by the local
police.

The criminal, identified as Hari Prayogo, 35, of Kemloko Legi,
Baron district, Nganjuk regency, East Java, was shot when he
along three others tried to rob the Perhutani employees who were
entering their office in the town on Wednesday.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Djoko Purbo Susanto, chief of the Blora Police
Precinct, said on Thursday the three other crooks escaped.

He said the robbery could be foiled after the car which
carried the Perhutani's employees, stopped and, then, hit the
robbers and their motorcyles.

Police are now pursuing the other three criminals, Djoko said.
