olice are still searching for six men who escaped fromtheir cells last Friday at Pondok Gede Police headquarters in Bekasi, WestJava.
'We are still looking for them,' Bekasi Police spokesman Adj. Comr. Siswo told reporters on Monday.
Siswo said after the men sawed through the iron bars of the prison's bathroom they moved to the prison's storage room. Once there, he said, they set the room's plastic roof alight to create a 30 centimeter radius hole to escape through.
'We will soon question the four policemen who were on guard duty that day,' he said, adding that there are no security cameras in the bathroom or in the prison cells.
The police are also still investigating whether the prisoners had any outside help.
