Police officers demolished a house where a church regularly met in Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia on July 19, 2010, according to the Compass Direct website.
Clashes broke out with church members and others as police tore down the Narogong Pentecostal Church building, and officers arrested 10 people.
Eddy Hidayat, head of Bogor police operations, said officials were forced to destroy the building because it lacked a permit for church use.
The Rev. Rekson Sitorus said the more than 200 people who attended the church -- which has existed since 2006 -- have lost their place of worship. The church is in the process of applying for a permit for a church building, he said.
