Jakarta, VIVA \u2014 Claiming to be a member of Jakarta Metro Police, a\nman is alleged to have hypnotised and stolen a motorcycle belonging to a\nmotorcycle taxi driver at petrol station 34.135.06 Makasar in East\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, the incident occurred at the petrol station here. The suspect\narrived at the petrol station claiming to be from the Narcotics Unit of\nJakarta Metro Police to take the victim\u2019s motorcycle,\u201d said Agus Sunarya\n(50), a security officer at petrol station 34.135.06 Makasar, on Monday,\n2 March 2026.<\/p>\n
The incident took place on Friday, 27 February 2026, at approximately\n21:30 WIB. A man arrived at the station riding a motorcycle with the\nvictim.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect arrived at the petrol station claiming to be from the\nNarcotics Unit of Jakarta Metro Police. I immediately coordinated with\nmy commander and other officers, then called the local neighbourhood\nhead,\u201d Agus explained.<\/p>\n
However, whilst Agus was still on the phone attempting to verify the\nman\u2019s identity, the suspect and victim suddenly left the location.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter I called the neighbourhood head, it was only a brief moment\nbefore the suspect and victim left and disappeared. After that, I had no\nfurther information,\u201d Agus said.<\/p>\n
He stated that only one person was involved. Upon arriving at the\npetrol station, the suspect was riding the motorcycle with the victim,\nwho is a motorcycle taxi driver.<\/p>\n
Regarding the suspect\u2019s claim to be a police officer, Agus said he\ncould not verify the authenticity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really know if he was a real police officer or not. What is\nclear is that the suspect arrived with the victim, riding the victim\u2019s\nmotorcycle,\u201d Agus said.<\/p>\n
The victim returned to the petrol station the following day,\nSaturday, 28 February 2026, to ask if the security officer knew the\nsuspect. The victim then reported that he had been hypnotised and his\nmotorcycle had been stolen. According to the victim\u2019s account to Agus,\nthe suspect initially hired him as a motorcycle taxi driver from outside\nthe Hajj Hostel Terminal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the journey, the suspect asked to be taken to Makasar Police\nStation and went inside the police office for a while, probably just to\nconvince the victim that he was indeed a police officer. He may not have\nactually entered, perhaps only appeared at the front,\u201d Agus\nexplained.<\/p>\n
After that, the victim was directed to Makasar petrol station.\nShortly thereafter, the suspect absconded with the victim\u2019s motorcycle\nin the Kramat Jati area.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/man-impersonating-metro-police-officer-steals-motorcycle-using-hypnosis-in-east-jakarta-1772434883", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
