DENPASAR, Bali: Thieves broke into Federal International
Finance (FIF) credit company on Wednesday morning and made away
with at least Rp 30 million in cash.

The robbery took place while the office was closed because
locals were commemorating Galungan, a religious festival.

Thieves cut through the steel padlock on the iron rolling door
of the office located on Jl. Gatot Subroto, an emerging business
area in the northern outskirts of Denpasar.

"The job was fast, clean and professionally done," a police
officer at the scene said. Once inside, the gang allegedly used
an electric saw to open the steel safe.

The company provides loans and credit for people wanting to
buy motorbikes and other products.

The thieves only targeted cash, leaving other valuable objects
such as computers, a television set, five brand new motorbikes
and several documents in the office.

There was no immediate information on how many people were
believed to have taken part in the robbery. (01/zen)
