JAKARTA: Three thieves posing as potential customers made off with a rental car Tuesday, leaving the car's driver tied up at Cibubur tollgate in East Jakarta.
The incident started Tuesday night when a man approached the driver, Daspin, 43, about taking him to Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta, city police said Wednesday.
On the way, the pair stopped in Kayu Putih, Central Jakarta, to pick up two accomplices.
One of the men began strangling the driver, who tried to fight back, while another pistol-whipped and handcuffed him. They later abandoned Daspin at the Cibubur tollgate, driving away with the car.
The Pulo Gadung police are now investigating the case. -- JP
