JAKARTA - Jatinegara Police Chief Kompol Chitya explained that the impact of gambling has greatly affected the finances of the perpetrators and their families.

"It will have an impact on the economy, and there will be a criminal act of theft or lying to parents due to addiction to lottery gambling if it is carried out by students," Kompol Chitya told reporters, Friday, December 8.

Even as a result of gambling, a perpetrator who carries out gambling activities will become addicted to the destruction of his life.

"If it is done by people who are married, it will have an impact on divorce because the household is not good," he said.

Kompol Chitya appealed to the residents of Jatinegara not to be tempted by the prizes obtained from lottery gambling. The reason is, according to the police chief, there is no gambling result that makes a perpetrator rich.

"We urge Jatinegara residents not to be interested, don't want to be rich quickly or get a lot of money by installing a lottery. Because this doesn't make sense," he said.

Previously, an elderly lottery gambling collector with the initials DB could only surrender when his gambling stall in the North Cipinang Besar area, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta, was raided by members of the Jatinegara Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Friday, December 8.

The lottery gambling field belonging to the suspect DB was raided after the police received a report that there was a lottery gambling activity in the North Cipinang Besar area, Jatinegara.
