Three Cannabis Positive Students Who Want To Fight In Johar Baru, Promise Via Instagram

JAKARTA - Three students with sharp weapons who were secured by the Cempaka Putih Police are still undergoing investigation. From the confession of the perpetrators, they wanted to do a brawl because they had an appointment through Instagram social media. 

"The reason is that at that time they had fought and were being challenged again via Instagram", said Cempaka Putih Police Chief, Commissioner Ade Rosa to VOI, Tuesday, May 10.

The incident started when the three students invited another group of teenagers from North Jakarta to attack a group of teenagers from Johar Baru.

"The Paseban children have agreed to fight against the Johar Baru children at the Johar Baru Sports Center. They first picked up their friends in the North Jakarta area", he explained.

After meeting their friends from North Jakarta, they (the group of perpetrators) went with a group of 10 motorbikes to Johar Baru.

When the motorbike passed through the Cempaka Putih area, precisely on Cempaka Putih Raya Street, Cempaka Putih Barat Village, the perpetrators who had not yet had a chance to get into a brawl actually passed the Precise Pioneer Patrol Team of the Central Jakarta Metro Police.

The 10 motorbikes of the group of perpetrators were chased by the Pioneer Patrol Team. However, because they saw a motorbike carrying a sharp weapon, the officers chased and arrested him.

"A motorbike was arrested with three people on board. Meanwhile, nine other motorbikes managed to escape", he said.

Furthermore, Commissioner Ade Rosa explained, that the three students from Paseban were suspected of having no friends at home, so they invited another group of teenagers from North Jakarta.

"Maybe because he doesn't have friends, he has friends through Instagram for North Jakarta children, so they invited the children from North Jakarta", he explained.

The perpetrators had previously agreed on Instagram that they would carry out a brawl in the Johar Baru area.

"There hasn't been (a brawl), the plan is for a brawl in Johar Baru. So when they crossed the Cempaka Putih Barat area, they wanted to go to Johar Baru, they were immediately caught", he said.

As a result of his actions, the three students with the initials HR, MNA and EDD are still behind bars at the Cempaka Putih Police Headquarters.

"Both students were charged with possession of sharp weapons under the Emergency Law", he said.
