Soldiers, police caught gambling

YOGYAKARTA: A commander of a military precinct and three other
soldiers were caught gambling along with an administrative
official, a police officer and three residents, Antara reported
Saturday.

One escaped and the others were arrested in a raid led by the
Bantul military commander, Lt. Col. Art. M. Budiarto, who added
that he hoped the other man would immediately give himself up.

"He's an official and it's easy to get his identity," Budiarto
said.

The raid was conducted following information that gambling,
which is illegal here, was going on in Bantul with support from
military members.

Three of those arrested were from the army, one a Bantul
police officer and the others were residents, who would be handed
over to police. (anr)
