JAKARTA - The heroic action was carried out by two members of the local Kemayoran and Babinsa Police in arresting two men who were drug dealers in the Utan Panjang Green Open Space (RTH) area, Kemayoran District, Central Jakarta.

The two perpetrators with the initials KW and IR were arrested by members of the Police and TNI even though the perpetrators had fought back.

The arrests of the two youths were made on many reports of residents who were increasingly restless about drug trafficking in the area.

To follow up on public reports, Binmas and Babinsa members immediately carried out security against the perpetrators.

"The two people have been detained at the Kemayoran Police. The case is in deepening and development," said Head of Public Relations of the Kemayoran Police, Bripka Ricky Sihite when confirmed by VOI, Friday, September 27.

The two perpetrators are known to have the initials KW and IR are still in the detention cell of the Kemayoran Police. The police are also still developing the case.

"For now, the two perpetrators are still developing. The perpetrators are still being handled at the Polsek," he said.

The arrest of this drug dealer was also caught on CCTV cameras around the location. CCTV footage shows a young man rebeling when he was arrested by members of the police and the TNI.

Finally, the perpetrator who wore a black jacket was successfully paralyzed by the police and members of the TNI. The arrest of the two perpetrators also caused a commotion among residents. Local residents rushed out of their homes to witness the arrest.

Bripka Ricky said the arrests of the two were based on reports from people who felt uneasy about their environment being used as a place for drug transactions.

"Indeed, many residents have complained about it. That's why they gave the information to Babinsa and Binmas," he said.
