3 Ojek Drivers Extorting Passengers Now Arrested by Police

JAKARTA, KOMPASTV - It didn't take long for the police to arrest three motorcycle taxi drivers who were accused of extorting three passengers. The three were charged with extortion which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Armed with a video that has gone viral on social media, police from the Tanjung Duren Police Criminal Investigation Unit, West Jakarta, on Friday afternoon (21/2) arrested the three motorbike taxi drivers known as Arif, Muhtar and Sudarno at their residence in the Semanan Kalideres area, West Jakarta. One of the suspects denied extorting passengers.

Police are still continuing to investigate the three motorbike taxi drivers on suspicion of extortion. Although the three suspects denied extortion, the police considered the rates charged by the suspects to be unreasonable.

Tanjung Duren Police Chief Agung Wibowo explained that the rates charged by the three motorcycle taxi drivers were far above the usual rate of no more than IDR 50,000 or IDR 100,000.
