The Yogyakarta Police bomb squad has confiscated a suspicious bag containing a 3-kg gas cyclinder that was abandoned near a motorcycle workshop at Suryotomo Street, just across the Melia Purosani, one of the city's finest hotels, an official said.
“We are confiscating the suspicious bag and taking it to the mobile brigade’s headquarters for further investigation,” Yogyakarta Police deputy chief Sr. Comr. Tjiptono said on Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Tjiptono said the bag’s existence was first reported by Toha, a local resident, who passed by the street at that time and considered the abandoned bag suspicious.
“Given the fact that there have been bomb attacks in several regions around the country lately I believed it best to report the bag to the authorities,” he said.
