At the same time, West Jakarta youth leader Abdul Aziz appreciated the West Jakarta Metro Police's move to confiscate thousands of liquor.
According to Umar, this effort is a form of early prevention of juvenile delinquency so as not to commit serious crimes.
"Because people who are influenced by alcohol will definitely do things that violate the law," he said.
He hopes that the raids will be carried out regularly by the Police in order to maximize the prevention of criminal acts in West Jakarta.
