Nearly three hours in the forest, finally one of the Indonesian citizens who could speak Chinese persuaded them to come down and leave the forest. Negotiation efforts continued until the Chinese foreigners were willing to come down and leave the forest.
"It's safe, you will be saved. "You will be sent back to your country of origin," said one of the Indonesian citizens in Mandarin so that the foreigners would come out of the forest at that time.
Not long after, several foreigners started to come out of the forest. Still in a tense atmosphere, the foreigners came out of the forest, only to see the police officers still trying to get away.
Suddenly, at that time there were also two male foreign nationals who fought back into a duel and wrestled with the police at the location.

30 minutes later, the foreigner who had plunged into the sea finally surfaced ashore and was finally arrested.
"It was like there was a war in our village last night, there has never been anything like this as long as I have lived on this island," said a resident of Gentong Island, Amin, Wednesday (6/9).
Amin witnessed the incident at that time. He helped the police chase dozens of foreign nationals when they entered the forest.
"Our village was amazing yesterday," he added.
He said that when the incident took place, residents also gathered at the location.
After dozens of foreigners came down from the forest, Amin admitted that he felt confused. Because, none of the dozens of foreigners can speak Indonesian.
The owner of the house where dozens of foreigners were staying temporarily, Tar, said that the foreigners had only been there for three days.
Dozens of foreigners rented two residents' houses which stood on platforms with plank buildings erected on the beach.
It's just that, Tar admitted that he did not know for certain the intentions and goals as well as the identities of dozens of foreign nationals.
Taking care of tens of foreign nationals to live in locations, there are two Batam residents who communicate with Tar.
From the information gathered, the two Indonesian citizens who take care of dozens of foreign nationals play a role in supplying food to the foreigners. blt
