JAKARTA - For motorcycle gangs and robbers who are fond of acting in West Java, get ready. The West Java Regional Police have given instructions to open fire on the spot for them.

The Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Pol. Ibrahim Tompo, explained that the police paid attention to the crimes on the streets that had recently occurred. This step was taken to minimize disturbances to security and order.

"The police chiefs build a spirit for the duties of their members by giving orders to fire on the spot," said Ibrahim at the West Java Regional Police, Bandung City, West Java, Tuesday, May 31, quoted from Antara.

From his notes, recent crimes and violence have been motivated by youth groups or gangs.

In this case, the West Java Regional Police also held an operation to deal with this. The operations carried out by the West Java Regional Police are Operation Bina Kusuma and Operation Libas 2022.

The Bina Kusuma Operation will be oriented to preventive matters by fostering and providing counseling for youth or students to schools.

As for Operation Libas, according to him, the operation will be a repressive measure. Strict action, he said, will be taken by the police against actions that disturb public peace.

"But it should be noted, for the police to use firearms, this is a consideration of each member in the field, considering the conditions in the field," said Ibrahim.

He explained that the areas that are still prone to the presence of motorcycle gangs are Cirebon, Bogor and Sukabumi. According to him, in some areas, there have been many victims.

"To the extent that people feel uncomfortable on the road, especially those who leave at night, feel restless, this condition will automatically not be allowed," said Ibrahim.
