The Cianjur Resort Police arrested six students from Sukabumi who were caught carrying sharp weapons during the 2024 Patuh Jaya Operation raid on Jalan Raya Cianjur-Sukabumi. The students allegedly wanted to fight.

Head of Cianjur Police Traffic Unit, AKP Anjar Maulana, said that when he held a raid on a noisy exhaust and traffic violation in the Warungkondang area, his party saw a number of students riding a tronton truck from Sukabumi to Cianjur.

"Because open tub vehicles are not used to transport people, so we immediately stopped the truck that was boarded by six students wearing Sukabumi Vocational High School uniforms," he said in Cianjur, Thursday, July 25, which was confiscated by Antara.

After an examination, two sharp weapons were found from inside the student's bag, so the six of them were immediately secured to the Warungondang Police Station, for further questioning because they were suspected of having prepared two machetes in case.

"One of the students admitted that a sharp weapon had been prepared beforehand on the pretext of being on guard, so we handed over the six students to the Warungkondang Police for further investigation," he said.

Regarding the raids held at the Cianjur-Sukabumi border, he admitted that he had secured 30 motorbikes using noisy exhausts or Brong exhausts which were immediately taken to the Cianjur Police Station because the owner could not carry the manufacturer's exhaust.

"Motorcycles may be taken back after the exhaust is replaced by manufacturer standards, noisy exhaust raids continue to be carried out to provide comfort for the community," he said.

So far, he added, many public complaints about noisy exhausts in various areas whose voices can interfere with hearing, especially at night, not only is the exhaust noisy, but his party also takes action against other traffic violators.

"We are also the act of motorists who do not wear SNI helmets, fight against the flow, and other violations, all of which are carried out so that traffic drivers are orderly," he said.
