Undeterred, the man and his friends continued to communicate with the rider, trying to get him to return the package.

The man, pretending to be interested in the girlfriend, started chatting with her on TikTok and eventually arranged a meeting.

During their conversation, the girlfriend mentioned that she was not serious about her relationship with the rider, which gave the man an opportunity to gather more information.

When the meeting was arranged, the man informed his friends, who were working with law enforcement officers.

They set up a trap, and the rider was apprehended when he arrived at the agreed location. The package was recovered, and the rider was taken into custody.
