JAKARTA (JP): The city police have arrested two men believed
to be the kidnappers of a soccer player whose father had been
involved in a business dispute with them.

City Police Spokesman Lt. Col. Iman Haryatna confirmed the
arrest of Ucok Siregar and John Siregar for kidnapping Budi
Setiawan, a junior player with the leading football club Pelita
Jaya.

He said the police both released Budi and arrested his
kidnappers at their house on Jl. Ciledug Raya, South Jakarta, on
Monday night.

"We believe a debt dispute is behind the kidnapping," Iman
said on Tuesday

He said Budi's father Zulkifli Lubis had reportedly owed Ucok
Rp 86 million (US$36,986).

Besides kidnapping Budi, he said, Ucok had also taken some
sewing machines and a large range of textiles from Lubis' house.
