The Central Jakarta Metro Police will take firm action against the perpetrators of the destruction of attributes or other campaign props in the event of an election crime violation in Central Jakarta.

"We will analyze, we will study, what is being done. If, for example, it is an element of vandalism, we will process it. Firmly, it is done," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin to VOI, Thursday, September 14.

Approaching the election, it is feared that there will be unlawful acts committed by certain individuals in the Central Jakarta area. However, until now, Kombes Komarudin said there had been no reports related to the case.

"There has been no report in Central Jakarta, so far there has been no. The last one who demonstrated the action in Cilosari, Menteng, whose PDIP flag was reported at Polda Metro Jaya. There is no Central Jakarta yet," he said.

Kombes Komarudin also appealed to a number of people not to carry out activities that violate the law if they do not want to be caught in the crime.

"Anyone of the certain parties respects each other, this is the moment of a democratic party. The name of the party must be happy and no one should offend, touch the realm that is not part of it. For example, there are attributes to people, so let it be," he said.
