"So the actual victims were four, so one of the victims managed to escape and then made a report on Monday (13/10) to the Polda Metro Jaya," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, October 16.

Ade Ary explained that the incident began when the victim and his wife and two colleagues met the suspect with the initials NN on Saturday (11/10) at a restaurant in the Jagakarsa area, South Jakarta.

"Their goal was to hold a meeting, namely a car sale and purchase transaction, then the victim paid a down payment of Rp49 million by transferring it to the account of the suspect NN," he said.

Then when ordering food, the suspect NN and several other suspects came to the crime scene and immediately took the victim's cellphone and bag.

"There were four victims who were confiscated while they shouted. However, suspect NN and several other suspects shouted 'cooperative, cooperative', while immediately putting the four victims into the car," said Ade Ary.

Then in the eye cars the victims were covered with black cloth. Then the victims were taken to the South Tangerang area, taken to the house of another suspect with the initials MA.

"Arriving there, the masks were opened by the perpetrators, then four victims were put in the room on the 2nd floor. One of the female victims was ordered to leave the room and heard a voice that her husband was being teased," said Ade Ary.
