JAKARTA - Various modes are often used by criminals to smooth their actions. One of them is a robbery with same-sex online prostitution mode which has recently been revealed.

The robbery of the same sex prostitution was uncovered in Jakarta. Only three people, namely TH, Z and O robbery through the WeChat short message application can run smoothly. However, their action was revealed by the police.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said the suspect TH (male) played a role as a person who looks for same-sex victims. Meanwhile, O and Z act as scouts and wait for TH's direction.

After getting the target, the suspect immediately established communication. So, after agreeing on a price, the communication goes to the time and place to meet. Yusri said, from the communication that had been established, the two of them agreed to meet on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

"First the initials TH, he plays the role of executor and then the one who invites the victim, invites the victim," said Yusri in Jakarta, Monday, June 8.

In the communication, it was agreed to meet in the area, Tebet, South Jakarta. According to the agreement time, TH contacted the victim and offered to pick him up together to the hotel.

Because, the location of their destination hotel is not far from the pick-up point. After meeting, TH dodged that he didn't get along with the victim. Thus, the intention to go to the hotel was canceled.

Finally, a new agreement was made again. They both decided to eat together in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta. "After that the victim was invited to take a walk by the suspect," said Yusri.

Even though their goals had changed, said Yusri, TH had already arranged a plan to rob the victims. This is because the other two suspects, Z and O, who are still at large, are lurking from a distance.

Arriving at the Menteng area, to be precise, in front of the Komnas HAM office, suspects Z and O immediately stopped the motorbike that the victim was carrying. Then, the two suspects pointed a sharp sickle-type weapon at T which was aimed directly at the victim.

Even though they had fought back, the victim was ultimately helpless. The suspects also seized the victim's property.

"The victim's motorbike and cellphone were taken away by the suspect," said Yusri.

After successfully retrieving the victim's property, the suspect immediately sold the goods he had robbed to the collectors. For cell phones, they were sold to suspect D who was also arrested. Meanwhile, the victim's motorbike was sold to a fugitive collector.

"One of the custodians with the initials D has been arrested. The one sold to D is a cell phone. If the motorbike is sold to A, who is still being chased," said Yusri.

As a result of their actions, the three robbery suspects were charged with Article 365 of the Criminal Code concerning violent theft and were threatened with a prison sentence of 9 years.
