The Central Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit continues to investigate the existence of narcotics crimes in every brawl that occurs in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta.

"The order of the Chief of Police is clear, responding to public complaints about disturbing incidents caused by repeated groups of brawlers," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Head AKBP Iverson Manossoh to VOI, Sunday, December 24.

From the identification of the Central Jakarta Narcotics Unit, the last case in Menteng was found that 4 suspects were positive for consuming methamphetamine and found evidence of 0.09 grams of crystal methamphetamine at his home.

"This means that some of the perpetrators of this brawl are indicated to be triggered by other factors, the existence of narcotics abuse," he said.

AKBP Iver said that his party would conduct further examinations and coordinate with psychologists, psychiatrists, to identify the mental condition of the perpetrator.

"Is there a tendency for the level of courage of the perpetrators to carry out this brawl to be caused by one of the factors because he is an active drug user," he said.

Furthermore, AKBP Iver will also conduct further consultations with psychologist experts in the field of psychiatry to identify further the factors that cause the level of courage of brawlers to dare to injure uniformed officers in the field who break up brawls.

"Why did he dare? We will do further research whether this is a factor from drug abuse to an important factor that triggers courage, emotions, psychology of the perpetrators until he is so brave to injure the authorities," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro, said that there were two areas prone to brawls that often occur in Central Jakarta. The two areas are in Johar Baru District and Menteng District.

"The brawl is closely related to narcotics. Four brawlers in Menteng tested positive for amphetamine (shabu) and one of the perpetrators was found to have methamphetamine in his pants pocket," said Kombes Susatyo when confirmed, Sunday, December 24.
