DENPASAR - As many as 10 teenagers alias ABG were arrested by the Denpasar Police, Bali, for carrying out illegal racing actions.

Head of the Sabhara Denpasar Police, Kompol I Gusti Ngurah Sudara, explained that 9 of the 10 ABGs were secured by motorbikes.

"The ABGs, who are in their teens on average, were arrested for crowding during the Emergency PPKM and indications of doing track-tracks and vehicles without a vehicle registration certificate and driver's license, as well as securing 9 units of motorcycles of various brands," said Sudara, Monday, 16 August.

The wild race took place at 03.00 WITA, Monday morning on Jalan Gatot Subroto Barat, Denpasar.

According to community reports, the police visited the location. At Circle K Dalung Permai, 10 teenagers were arrested.

The handling of this case was handed over to the Badung Police. While the evidence of 9 motorbikes was secured at the Denpasar Police.

"Patrol activities by targeting community crowds during this pandemic include treks carried out by ABGs. We carry out routinely," he said.

According to him, residents should not congregate in the midst of a pandemic, let alone wild racing.

"We hope to the whole community, let's work together to keep our children from making mistakes in socializing, let alone doing treks that will actually harm themselves," he said.
