        "content": "<p>Police have arrested two men identified as AS and AP suspected of\nhypnotising schoolchildren in the Tambora area of West Jakarta to\ndeceive and steal their valuables. Tambora Police Station CID Chief AKP\nSudrajat Djumantara said on Monday in Jakarta that the suspects\ninitially targeted schoolchildren on motorcycles, asking them questions\nto confuse them. \u2018The suspects would ask for directions or irrelevant\nquestions to confuse victims, who then followed their instructions,\u2019 he\nsaid. Once the psychological trick succeeded, the suspects would leave\nthe victims and take their motorbikes. \u2018The latest incident occurred on\nBandengan Street in Tambora subdistrict on Sunday (24 May) afternoon.\nThe hypnosis allegation is still under investigation, but the modus\noperandi shows victims were disoriented and followed the suspects\u2019\ninstructions, effectively being hypnotised,\u2019 Sudrajat said. The suspects\nwere arrested in the Pekojan area of Tambora shortly after police\nreceived the report on Sunday (24 May). The suspects are repeat\noffenders for the same crime and were recently released from prison in\n2022. \u2018So far, all victims are minors or still in school uniform,\u2019\nSudrajat said. They have been charged under Article 492 of the new\nCriminal Code (KUHP), which carries a maximum prison sentence of four\nyears.<\/p>",
