Six make off with policeman's car

TANGERANG: Six robbers managed to make off with a Kijang
minivan belonging to a middle-ranking police officer when the
driver was parking the car outside Bintaro housing estate in the
Pondok Aren district of Tangerang on Tuesday morning.

The driver, Adam Wenas, 32, said that he was about to take his
uncle Comr. Jimmy Tailaha, an officer of the logistics department
of the National Police Headquarters, to work at about 5 a.m.

"But around one kilometer from home, Jimmy asked me to turn
back to get his police cap," he said.

Jimmy told Adam to park the van with plate number B 1561 QU
outside the estate entrance while he walked home to get the cap.

As Jimmy entered the housing compound, six unidentified men
approached the car and, one carrying a gun, ordered Adam to leave
the car.

"I was scared of being shot," said Adam, who let the robbers
escape with the car, with Jimmy's office documents, uniform and
pistol.

Pondok Aren Police who are handling the case have not yet
revealed details of the investigation. -- JP
