Sounds like they know your girl has a bule with money. What you need to do is get a senior male representative from the girl's family or village to step in and assist her. Someone who is not going to extort money out of her. This is the way it gets done in Indonesia.
This person (father, uncle, brother, or village head) needs to go to the police station with all the paperwork and arrange the police clearance. They need to stand firm against extortion. Keep in mind that there is some cost to getting the clearance (just like there probably is in your home country). The senior male might also need Rp 20,000 to pay for petrol and cigarettes.
Do not pay ridiculous sums of money for this. If it is being demanded there is something not right going on.
