JAKARTA - The raid on liquor (alcohol) conducted by the Satpol PP, Ciracas District, East Jakarta, was met with resistance from a number of thugs.

In fact, the thugs suspected of being the backing of the liquor store also intimidated the media covering the raid in the Kampung Rambutan area, Ciracas, East Jakarta.

From the observations of journalists at the location, it was seen that a man claiming to be a member of an NGO mass organization tried to block the Satpol PP officers during a raid.

The man suspected of being influenced by liquor also provoked the merchants to fight against the officers. He also intimidated journalists who were reporting by forcing them to delete the video recordings they were covering.

A riot ensued. Traders who were previously raided also threw bottles of drinks at the Satpol PP officers. The broken bottle that was thrown also injured a Satpol PP officer.

This attack on officers and journalists can also be disentangled by other officers. The situation is gradually conducive.

"Alcohol raids are carried out as an effort to anticipate disturbances in public order and juvenile delinquency. Even as an anticipation of street crimes triggered by alcohol," said the Head of Ciracas Sub-district, Mamad, to reporters at the location, Wednesday, October 27, evening.

From the results of the raid, Satpol PP secured 100 bottles of liquor from a number of herbal medicine stalls. The liquor raids will continue to be intensified for the next few days.
