JAKARTA - The Sub-Directorate of Traffic Police, AKBP Ojo Ruslani, revealed the facts behind the action of motorcyclists who broke through and damaged the Casablanca Non Toll Flyover (JLNT) portal, South Jakarta. The motorcycles used by the perpetrators have been modified to an extreme extent.
Ojo said that the average vehicle used had been modified to be able to travel at high speeds.
"The motorcycles have been modified. It's a fast motorcycle. Mio, then there's also Aerox," he said when contacted by the media, Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
Ojo said that the motorcyclists were on average around 20 years old. However, they rode motorcycles with modified values that were not cheap.
"Yes, 20s. But the modification is expensive. The carburetor alone can be Rp5 million," he said.
According to him, the motorcyclists are not a motorcycle gang, but a community that often makes content and gathers together with the name Young Night Style. Meanwhile, based on a temporary check of the circulating video, the number of motorbikes that broke through is estimated to be dozens of units.
However, the police are still matching the identity of the vehicles involved.
"From the statement, of course, he will not admit it. We are checking the video that is circulating. From the video it will be seen the number of motorcycles, estimated at around 20 units," he said.
Ojo emphasized that the investigation is still ongoing. The perpetrators are threatened with a number of traffic violation articles, ranging from the use of brong exhaust, violation of road markings, lack of a driver's license, to the use of number plates that do not comply with the provisions.
"We can impose violations, ranging from brong exhaust, violation of markings, not having a driver's license, to the use of number plates that do not comply with the provisions," he concluded.
Previously, the actions of a number of motorcyclists who allegedly damaged the portal on the Casablanca Non Toll Layang Road (JLNT Casablanca) became the spotlight after the video circulated on social media.
In the uploaded video, a group of motorcyclists can be seen crossing the JLNT at night. In fact, the lane is known to be closed to two-wheeled vehicles at night to prevent illegal racing and traffic accidents.
It is suspected that the road closure portal was forcibly opened by burning the portal's binding rope, so that motorcyclists could pass through the lane.
Director of Traffic of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Komarudin, said his party was still conducting an in-depth investigation regarding the group of riders involved.
"Currently we are investigating the group of riders," he said.
