Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Yusri Yunus said the two arrestees, identified only by their initials K and D, were apprehended on Thursday evening.

“The police are now interrogating them to find out their motives,” Yusri told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

He added the police had also identified the victim, since one of the suspects personally recognized her. “The suspect has her phone number. The victim just filed a report to the police.”

The spokesperson went on to say the incident occurred on Wednesday in a Starbucks restaurant in the neighborhood of Sunter in North Jakarta.

The incident came to public attention after a Twitter user under the handle @LisaAbet uploaded a video of the incident to *deleted* Twitter. She tweeted she was angered upon watching the incident on her friend’s Instagram account.

The footage showed a male employee of the coffee shop zooming in on CCTV recordings in the back office to get a clearer look at a female visitor’s cleavage. Another male employee who recorded the event on his phone was heard laughing.
