The actions of dozens of these anarchies caused a number of damages. For this reason, the police decided to take firm action in the form of arrests.

Of the dozens of suspected members of the anarcho, one of them is a woman. However, it was not detailed about his identity. Ade only said that his party would not tolerate actions that interfere with security.
