JAKARTA (JP): More than 20 junior high school students mobbed
three construction workers for allegedly stealing one of the
students' money on Jl. Kramat Sentiong in Central Jakarta on
Saturday.

Central Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. Abubakar Nataprawira
said that the police detained one of the alleged thieves,
identified as Joko Prasetyo, 20, a resident of Bekasi, West Java.

"The other two, identified as Rodiwik and Jaka, are still at
large," he said.

He said the men asked the students for money. They then
threatened to beat Teddy, one of the students, and stole Rp
20,800 (US$8.85) from him.

Teddy's friends decided to fight back. One of the men, Joko
Prasetyo, fell down when trying to escape.

The students then turned Joko in to local police. (jun)
