Three robbers caught in Tangerang

TANGERANG (JP): Police arrested three men Saturday for
allegedly stealing a cash box containing Rp 50,000 (US$14.70)
from a motorcycle showroom in Tangerang.

Tangerang police chief Lt. Col. Iman Haryatna said the three
suspects, identified as Wagiman, 30, Wagiyanto, 26, and Purseno,
27, stole the cash box from the showroom on Jl. Muh. Toha in
Jatiuwung district.

Iman said the suspects entered the showroom by pretending to
be potential buyers.

He said the three suspects immediately entered the cashier
room and one of them, Wagiman, pointed a knife at the cashier,
identified as Budi. Wagiyanto then used a shoestring to tie up
Budi as Purseno grabbed the cash box.

The suspects escaped by public minivan, he said.

Police hunted down the suspects after receiving a report from
Budi and managed to arrest them because the minivan in which they
were traveling was trapped in a traffic jam, he said.

"The police are still questioning the suspects on whether they
were involved in other crimes," Iman said. (41/jun)
