Two private cars were misused to transport 27 sharp weapons in a brawl plan in the Lubang Buaya area, Cipayung, East Jakarta, Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at around 03.30 WIB.
"We conducted a search, it turned out that in the car there were 27 sharp corbek and sickles plus cell phones," said East Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol Nicolas Ary Lilipaly during a press conference at the Cipayung Police Headquarters, East Jakarta, Thursday, July 17, 2025.
Nicolas said the two cars were apparently borrowed by a teenager from his uncle without the owner's knowledge that they would be used for criminal activities.
Regarding the ownership status of the vehicle, the police confirmed that the car was not "stupid".
"We have checked, it is indeed his uncle's private car used by his nephew," he said.
The tools were put into the car and his uncle did not know his nephew borrowed his car.
