JAKARTA - The Directorate of Narcotics Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya has sealed three bars because they operate beyond the operating hour limit in accordance with the policy for the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) on Thursday morning.

"Three cafes are Odin on Jalan Senopati, CODE in W Home Senopati and Dronk on Jalan Kemang Raya. We have sealed and installed police lines," said Director of Drug Investigation at the Metro Jaya Police Kombes Pol Mukti Juharsa in Jakarta, Thursday, February 3.

Mukti explained that officers visited Odin's bar at 00.20 WIB, CODE in W Home Senopati at 01.05 WIB and Dronk at 01.50 WIB and when they checked, it was found that there were still many visitors and violations of operating hours.

In addition to sealing the three bars, the police team also conducted random mass swab tests on employees and visitors at three locations.

As a result, it was found that one visitor at the CODE in W Home Bar Senopati was reactive to COVID-19.

"One person who was reactive for COVID-19 was then directed to isolation," said Mukti.

Previously, the team from the Directorate of Drugs at the Polda Metro Jaya also carried out inspections at the Swill House and Bengkel Space at 00.03 WIB.

However, when they arrived, the two locations were already in preparation for closing and no violation of operating hours was found.

The patrol activity lasted until 02.00 WIB, but there were no more night entertainment venues that committed violations.
