LIPPO CIKARANG - Dozens of bolts and safety hooks used on train tracks have been stolen in the area around the Purwokerto train station located in Central Java. The Mobile Brigade of Banyumas checked the entire length of the track and soon discovered the theft. It is most likely that the bolts and hooks were stolen to be sold as scrap iron.
Commander of the Mobile Brigade in Banyumas, Surya Putra, said that he will report his findings to the company as well so action can be undertaken to prevent theft of these bolts and hooks in the future and to improve rail safety, especially with the end of the Ramadan period coming up. Train accidents in Indonesia because of theft of railroad property and even pieces of track are not uncommon.
