progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – The Polsek Mampang Prapatan are currently investigating a viral video case of two men pretending to be thugs who forced coffee shop (warkop) employees to exchange the Rp236.000 in change they were carrying for Rp1 million. This incident was recorded on a CCTV camera in the Tegal Parang area, Mampang Prapatan, Jakarta Selatan on Thursday, (20/6) early yesterday morning.
Kapolsek Mampang Prapatan, Kompol David Y Kanitero in his statement said, that until now the victim had not made a police report (LP) to the Polsek Mampang Prapatan. Even so, his party is still investigating and investigating the case whose video went viral on social media.
“We have directed the victim to come to the Polsek station to make a police report, but he has not come. However, you continue to investigate and hunt down the two perpetrators,” said Kapolsek David, Friday, (21/6).
He said, that this incident started when the victim, a coffee shop worker with the initials DR (19), was working alone. Then the two perpetrators came asking to exchange change which they said amounted to Rp1.2 million.
The DR victim, who was on duty alone, then tried to contact his friend who worked at another branch of the Warkop. However, the perpetrator took the victim’s cellphone and set it to airplane mode so that the victim couldn’t contact his friend.
Because he felt pressured and threatened, the victim was forced to give Rp1 million to the two perpetrators. After the two perpetrators left, the victim tried to count the change the perpetrator was carrying. It turns out the amount was only Rp236.500. The victim was in shock
“The perpetrator forced and threatened the victim to continue exchanging the money. In the end the victim handed over Rp1 million because he was afraid and depressed. When the money exchanged was counted after the perpetrator left, the victim was shocked because the money exchanged turned out to be only Rp236.500,” explained Kapolsek David.
“But we will still solve this case immediately and arrest the two thuggish male perpetrators. Wait for our further developments, okay?” he added. (Bembo)
