Allegedly hypnotized by motorcycle taxi drivers to lose NMAX motorbikes and Rp 1.2 million in money in Ancol (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - One unit of an NMAX motorcycle along with a wallet containing Rp 1.2 million in cash belonging to an ojol driver was stolen on Jalan Lodan Raya, Ancol, Pademangan, North Jakarta.

Two perpetrators stole the items from an online motorcycle taxi driver named Prima Santosa (26).

"My motorcycle was taken away by two people. One guy is tall, has short hair and wears a beige batik shirt. The other guy wears a brown shirt," said Prima when met by reporters at the Bintang Mas Police Post, Ancol, Pademangan, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, 9 June.

Prima said the incident occurred on Wednesday evening. At that time, a tall man rode his motorcycle from Tebet, South Jakarta.

The perpetrators argued that they did not carry a cellphone, so they ordered a motorcycle taxi from outside the network (offline), by first agreeing on a delivery fee of Rp. 40,000.

"He asked me to deliver without using an application, when I was hanging out in front of SMPN 115, Tebet, South Jakarta, this afternoon," said Prima.

In front of Ancol, the perpetrator told Prima to stop to wait for a friend.

Not long after, a man who was a co-perpetrator approached Prima, whose exact position was in front of the gates of Ancol Dreamland Park.

"So one of his friends came. Now the other one is like reading a prayer to me," said Prima.

The two perpetrators started their action by ordering Prima to issue a coin worth Rp500. The second perpetrator then asked Prima to give the coin to him.

After being held for a while, the coin was then returned by the perpetrator to Prima. When Prima was about to put a coin in his wallet in the back pocket of his pants, the second perpetrator forbade it.

"He said 'don't sit on it, pamali' (abstinence) he told me to put it in his wallet. But he asked me to put the coin in the motorcycle seat," said Prima. At that time, Prima just obeyed the perpetrator's wishes without realizing that the two perpetrators had bad intentions.

When the wallet was placed under the motorcycle seat, Prima was then given a kind of flower they picked on Jalan Lodan Raya. "The flower is a white spider lily, there are three, two of which were requested by the suspects," he said.

"Then he told me to step on the flower. Then I walked a few steps and I stepped on the flower," said Prima.

When the order was carried out, the victim admitted that he was not aware that his motorbike key was still hanging.

Then Prima's consciousness recovered, but it was too late because the perpetrators had fled with the motorcycle.

"I've been chasing but not caught, there I was aware that the two men had stolen my motorcycle," said Prima.

The online motorcycle taxi driver from South Jakarta was in a state of panic, finally reporting the theft incident to the Bintang Mas Ancol Police Post.

The report was received by the picket officer on duty, then forwarded to the Pademangan Police Headquarters.
