TANGERANG (JP): Police managed to arrest on Tuesday another
suspect of a crime involving hypnotism in Curug subdistrict,
eastern Tangerang.

Tangerang Police detective chief Insp. Chandra Sukma Kumara
said police arrested Ely Epriyani, 34, after an officer
purporting to be her accomplice Antoni, alias Anton, contacted
her using a cellular phone she had stolen from Rini, 32.

Police arrested Anton, 32, on Monday following a report from
the victim, who saw him near Bank BNI in Cimone.

As reported earlier, Anton met with the victim on Aug. 24.
Anton asked Rini for directions to Jl. Merdeka, while passing her
a piece of paper with Arabic writing.

Anton then offered the victim a small packet, saying he
inherited it from his parents and it could make her stay young
and accumulate wealth.

Ely, who began to lose consciousness, was convinced by Anton
and immediately gave him two ATM cards, two gold rings, a Timex
wrist watch, a cellular phone and cash to the value of Rp 40,000
(US$4.71) which he requested from her. (41)
