The West Java Regional Police (West Java Police) revealed that two of the 16 people who were arrested during a riot around Unisba, Jalan Tamansari, Bandung City on Monday (1/9) night, were positive for drugs and were caught carrying a soft gun.
West Java Police Chief Inspector General Rudi Setiawan said the two people with the initials GOP and AA had been named suspects for possession of 7 grams of marijuana and soft guns along with sewer bullets.
"Of the 16 people we arrested last night, we have named two suspects with the initials GOP and AA. It is related to drugs and soft guns with bullets. If you fire close range it can be deadly," said Rudi in Bandung, Tuesday, September 2.
Rudi explained that from the results of the investigation, digital conversations were also found related to the purchase of drugs and invitations to gather in the action.
"This is already a fact that they are not demonstrations, but do actions that violate public security and order," he said.
The Regional Police Chief emphasized that his party will continue to trace the network and the purpose of the action carried out by the masses at night by arming themselves with Molotov cocktails.
