JAKARTA - Members of the Criminal Investigation Unit (Reskrim) of the Senen Police have arrested 6 underage children in a brawl on Jalan Tongkang, Kramat, Monday, August 15, at dawn.

The six brawlers had the initials MFF (14), IG (15), AL (15), SN (14), AS (15) and GN (13). Although the perpetrators of the brawl were still minors, the police found evidence that three of the perpetrators were also positive for amphetamines.

Senen Police Chief Commissioner of Police (Kompol) Ari Susanto said his party had succeeded in dissolving a brawl plan between the Lima Bersatu youth gang from West Jakarta and the residents of Kramat Raya, Senen, Central Jakarta.

"We have arrested six people, they were positive for amphetamine during a urine test. The plan for the brawl was from social media (Medsos) Instagram," said Kompol Ari to VOI, Sunday, August 15.

Kompol Ari said the motorcycle gang who came from West Jakarta invited Senen residents to fight.

"But we managed to break up the brawl. We took the perpetrators who were arrested to the police for investigation," he said.

Meanwhile, from the results of the interrogation, the perpetrators admitted that they were only invited by their seniors in the motorcycle gang.

"These perpetrators are still under age, they are invited to fight," he said.

The police also examined the urine of the perpetrators. As a result, three perpetrators were found positive for amphetamines.

"The result was that three of them tested positive for shabu-shabu, namely SN (14), AS (15) and GN (13). We will call their parents positive for drugs and send them to a rehabilitation center," said the Sector Police Chief.

Meanwhile, the three drug-negative brawlers will be handed over to their respective parents with a record under parental supervision.

"Observe the movement of children from negative associations, give them a spiritual shower so they don't fall into relationships that embarrass the family," he said.
