North Jakarta Metro Police held nightly patrols until early morning to prevent cases of child abuse in their jurisdiction. Deputy Head of North Jakarta Metro Police, Adjunct Senior Commissioner of Police Erlin Tang Jaya, said that in the past month, it has remained conducive from all forms of fights or brawls involving students since there was a patrol.

"We will continue to carry out patrol activities, the prevention we carry out almost every night until early morning to anticipate criminal acts such as fights or brawls between groups in our jurisdiction," Erlin said, quoting Antara, Friday, October 28.

Erlin said that during patrols until early morning, his party had arrested a number of minors who were suspected of having a brawl in the North Jakarta jurisdiction. However, the legal consequences for children suspected of carrying out these brawls do not yet exist.

"Like it or not, we have to return it to his parents and also in the context of coaching, because the child's age is still a minor," said Erlin.

However, for the alleged perpetrators of violence whose age has nine legal consequences, the police continue to make arrests.

Because the police found that there were sharp weapons carried by the suspects which were allegedly used for violent fights, brawls or thefts.

"Nine people have seen behind me, all of these are adults. The articles we apply are Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Emergency Law Number 12 of 1951 and Article 365 of the Criminal Code," said Erlin.

Each of the initials of the names of the detained suspects are A, SS, AI, NHF, TW, DI, Y, AP, and S.

The nine suspects were arrested separately from seven police reports to the police in the jurisdiction of the North Jakarta Metro Police in the past month, including the Penjaringan Metro Police, Tanjung Priok Police, Cilincing Police, Koja Police, Pademangan Police, and Kelapa Gading Police.

There were 72 sharp weapons that were also confiscated from the hands of the suspects to be used as evidence by investigators, in the form of keris, sickles, mandau, mandates, and others.

There is also an object that is believed by one of the perpetrators to be able to bring good luck, but the police still confiscated it.
