Truck drivers probed over robbery

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Police here are questioning a truck
driver and his assistant over an alleged involvement in a robbery
that cost their company 600 sacks of cement.

Banyumas Police Chief Lt. Col. Johnny Hutahuruk told Antara on
Sunday that the driver, identified as Untung, and his co-driver
Sofyan were under police custody, following information from
various sources which led to the truck crew's alleged
involvement.

The truck was robbed during the early hours of Friday in
Slawi, some 70 kilometers north of here, on its way from Cirebon,
West Java, to Blora, Central Java. Both Untung and Sofyan were
found by villagers in Pemalang, 50 kilometers from the scene of
the robbery.

Johnny said the truck had left Cirebon on Tuesday. Normally,
it takes a driver up to eight hours to reach Blora from the West
Java coastal town.
