EAST JAVA - The Regent of Kediri, East Java, Hanindhito Himawan Pramana asked the Kediri Resort Police to take firm action against thuggery acts carried out by gangs of motorbikes because they made motorists nervous in this area.

"I condemn this action. The victim happened to send me a message and I told him not to be afraid to report it to the police," he said in Kediri, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, March 16.

He is ready to help the police by handing over the closed circuit television (CCTV) recording belonging to the Kediri Regency Transportation Service to the police.

"We will hand over CCTV to the police to find out from the existing police numbers, then other characteristics," he said.

The acts of thuggery were caught on surveillance cameras belonging to the Kediri Regency Government. The perpetrators numbered between 50-100 people with the location of the incident on the Kediri-Pare route, on Sunday, March 13 in the morning.

The gang of perpetrators riding motorbikes drove from Pare to Kediri. Then, around the PCNU Multipurpose Building in Sukorejo Village, Gurah District, a mob confronted motorcyclists from Kediri.

The video footage has gone viral on social media. The video recorder said the action carried out by the gang was anarchic by breaking car windows and beating passersby.

The Regent hoped that the same incident would not be repeated. From the reports that came in, there were four people who had become victims and have now reported them to the Kediri Police.

Kediri Police Chief AKBP Agung Setyo Nugroho confirmed that his party would follow up on the report for an investigation. Surveillance camera or CCTV footage is very helpful in the police investigation process.

"We are collecting evidence along the way," he said. He ordered members to patrol regularly to anticipate similar incidents.

"We will increase patrols with the ranks of the Kediri District Police and Satpol PP. In addition to Kamtibmas, we will also patrol health protocols," he said.

Meanwhile, residents who have become victims immediately reported to the Kediri Police. B, who is a resident of Puncu Subdistrict, said that when the incident happened, he and his eight friends were going home after hanging out at Simpang Lima Gumul, Kediri Regency. On the way home, the mob intercepted and was beaten.
