Solution:

The man who called for help was the one who created the trap because he designed the giant box to keep Dave, James, Carla, and Anne inside. He likely intended to trap them for some reason, but when they shouted for help, he decided to call the police to save them, possibly to avoid getting caught himself. Additionally, he knew there were four people inside because he either heard four different voices or one of the trapped individuals informed him of their number.

How else would he know how many people are in the box?

I agree to the first answer but another thought is that may be the box was sound proof that the police found later.

What if the man heard four different voices shouting or if one of the trapped people toldhim they were four?
