Two robberies in Tangerang

TANGERANG (JP): Two groups of robbers broke into two houses
Tuesday morning, making away with cash, jewelry and electronic
goods worth millions of rupiah.

Tangerang Police chief Lt. Col. Aryanto Boediharjo said the
first robbery took place in a house on Jl. Pidana, in Tangerang.

Aryanto said the robbers drove to the house and gained access
by smashing a window.

The owner of the house, Gozim, could do nothing to stop the
robbers as the group threatened to kill him and members of his
family, he said.

About the same time, the other group of robbers broke into a
house belonging to Mrs. Saleh on Jl. Empu Sendok in Jatiuwung, he
said.

Mrs. Saleh woke up when she heard noises in the living room
but she was threatened with a sword when she went to investigate
the sound, he said.

The robbers managed to steal gold jewelry and cash before
leaving the house in a Kijang van, he said. (41/jun)
