JAKARTA - The police said that various methods were used by the community to escape the isolation posts and return to their hometowns. In addition, thousands of vehicles have also been prosecuted for trying to go home.

"Some cars were loaded onto the crane, some trucks were changed but they contained all kinds of people," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Thursday, May 6.

Even though various modes were used, Yusri said that members in the field would not be easily fooled. Because the officers learned from the experience of the previous year.

Officers will always check vehicles that try to pass. Private cars were also inspected.

"But we said that the officers learned from the experience of the previous year that we evaluated them. We will cover the paths of the rats that leaked out," said Yusri

"Where the modus operandi used, we already know that the best one has stopped. Because passing Jakarta, passing Cikarang will hit another border. That's why we risk holding the vehicle until this operation is complete," continued Yusri.

Based on the data received, continued Yusri, as many as 1,070 vehicles were asked to make a U-turn from 00.00 to 12.00 WIB on Thursday, May 6. This number is likely to increase because this isolation operation lasts for 12 days.

For details, the thousands of vehicles consist of 895 private vehicles and 175 public vehicles. The drivers were prosecuted from the Cikupa and West Cikarang Toll Gates.

"With the details for the Cikupa GT there are 626 vehicles. For private vehicles there are 519 and 77 public vehicles. For the West Cikarang GT there are 444 vehicles. 346 private vehicles and 98 public vehicles. These are still running because 24 hours are still moving," said Yusri.

In this homecoming prohibition operation, at least 4,276 personnel were deployed. They are alerted at 14 isolation points and 17 check points.
