JAKARTA - The Ciracas Police have arrested seven elementary school students who were involved in a brawl on Jalan Taruna Jaya, Cibubur Village, East Jakarta, on Wednesday, January 26, yesterday.

"It's not clear that there are people who come like that," he said.

Even so, his party will develop this case by digging up information from seven elementary school students who were secured.

In addition, the Ciracas Police will summon the parents of each child, and the local RT/RW administrator for the coaching process so that these students do not repeat their actions.

"Today, we will first call their parents and the local environmental management to come to the police station so that they can be trained," he said.

In order to prevent similar actions, he continued, his staff will increase patrols in vulnerable locations and coordinate with RT/RW administrators and environmental leaders.

The Ciracas Police also coordinate with the school to provide guidance so that when students return home from school, students go straight home, not hanging out.

"To anticipate brawls, we are working with RT/RW administrators and religious leaders to provide guidance to the youth. This is an effort that we are doing in addition to increasing patrols," he said.
