Taxi stolen, driver tied to tree<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): Bogor Police detectives are on the lookout for
\nthree armed men, who rode off in a stolen Jakarta-based taxi
\nafter tying the driver to a tree in the Gebluk village of
\nPalasari, Cijeruk district, early Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
A police officer on Thursday quoted the taxi driver, Nurbuat,
\n46, as saying that the three men stopped his car around 9:30 p.m.
\non Tuesday while he was driving along Jl. Tebet Raya in South
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
\"The driver said that he's working for PT Silver Taxi,\" the
\nofficer, who refused to be named, said.<\/p>\n
The three men asked Nurbuat for a ride to the Cibubur flower
\ngardens in East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"Upon reaching Cibubur, one of the passengers pointed a gun at
\nme. They then handcuffed me,\" Nurbuat said as quoted by the
\nofficer.<\/p>\n
\"The passengers took off my shirt and tied it around my eyes,
\nand then dragged me to the taxi's backseat. I had no idea where
\nthey were going to take me,\" the driver testified.<\/p>\n
The three armed men probably drove Nurbuat around till they
\nreached Cijeruk, where they took him out of the taxi, and used a
\nrope to tie him to a nearby tree.<\/p>\n
The suspects then sped off in the taxi.<\/p>\n
\"When I succeeded in untying myself, I rushed to nearby
\nresidents and told them the story. They then escorted me to
\nCijeruk police station,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Bogor police detectives are still investigating the case.
