Bad weather forced Wednesday afternoon a police helicopter to make an emergency landing in Lebak, Banten.
Two crew were reportedly safe after the helicopter landed at about 3 p.m. in paddy rice fields in Pariuk hamlet, Sukar Mekarsari village in Kalanganyar district.
It was reportedly that the helicopter operated by the Banten Provincial Police with tail number P 3011 was circling the area for about 15 minutes before landed.
Pilot First Insp. Ari said had to make an emergency landing because of bad weather and it was not possible to continue the flight.
