In addition, the police warned that this incident would not happen again. According to Rahmad, his party will carry out routine patrols so that these activities do not happen again.

"If later they are still stubborn, yes, they will be sanctioned, but that is the domain of the Satpol PP," he explained.

Information gathered by Rahmad from the owner, that the activity was indeed at Preston Coffee. Held with a duration of 2 hours with a pegged tariff of Rp. 40 thousand.
