Teachers' salaries stolen

JAKARTA (JP): Two school employees were robbed on Friday
afternoon of Rp 11.6 million (US $5,170) by two people on a
motorcycle in Tangerang, 30 kilometers west of here.

To date police have no clues about the case.

"We haven't any progress report on the case from the Tangerang
police," City Police spokesman Lt. Col. Bambang Haryoko told The
Jakarta Post by phone over the weekend.

The cash, salaries of 41 teachers of SMP Negeri 10, a local
state-owned junior high school, was stolen on Jl. Veteran, just
200 meters from the school.

According to school staffer Suraya, 35, and Ayub, 36, who were
assigned to withdraw the money from a nearby state bank, two
people on a motorcycle told them their sedan had a flat tire.

As they got out of the car to check the puncture, the
motorcyclists stole the money, Suraya and Ayub told the local
police. (bsr)
