JAKARTA, INDONESIA (AFP) - Indonesia's immigration office has detained 25 foreigners, mostly Africans, for disturbing public order, including flirting with teenage girls and married women, a report said Tuesday.
"Most of them have teased teenager girls, disrupted (the harmony of) married couples and taken women to their rented rooms or houses," immigration official Syaiful Rahman said, according to the Detikcom online news website.
Rahman said that 16 of the group were from Guinea, one was from Sierra Leone and another from Australia. Seven others did not have passports, he said.
"They were arrested following reports from residents in Pasir Ranji, Ciputat, before dawn today (Tuesday,)" Rahman said, referring to a residential area in South Jakarta.
Immigration spokesman Ida Bagus Adnyana was also quoted as saying that 14 of the group were football players. Eight played with local teams while the rest claimed to be "freelance" players, he said.
Adnyana said that it was yet unclear what the office intended to do with the group.
Neither of the officials could be reached for comment.
