He was forced to get back into his Prado and driven to Döbra, where he was tied to a tree. The four men took 2 sewing machines, a DVD player, a tape recorder, food and US$ 1000 in cash along. They also stole the car, which was later found at the Monte Christo Road. According to the police, the suspects are still at large.
