JAKARTA - The motive for brawls between groups of teenagers in Johar Baru is often triggered by trivial problems. Johar Baru Police Chief Kompol Ari Susanto said that the trigger for brawls is usually only because they lose playing ball, causing a commotion in the Johar Baru area.

Moreover, because the Johar Baru area has extraordinary population density. "It's too dense, the population. (cause of the commotion) is a trivial matter, the children hang out, then make a fuss with their friends 'Let's go next door'. So the problem is that most of the problems are trivial, not just in the T alley, other places in the alley, right," said Kompol Ari to reporters, Wednesday, September 21.

Due to the density of the population in Johar Baru District, small problems can cause friction. "The anticipation must be that the three pillars all fell, not just from the police, from the regional government, we from the Koramil also help to secure, even we are assisted by Pokdarkamtibnas who always help us, because our staff are also very few members of the police station," he said.

Although it has a small number of personnel, the Johar Baru Sector Police optimizes the performance of Binmas which every day must rotate 4 urban villages that are too dense. "But Alhamdulillah, even though there are small frictions, for five or ten minutes we can stop (the brawl). For the continuation, we will call everyone who has problems later, we will also call RT and RW," he said.

Previously, it was reported that a teenager with the initials A (17) was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Johar Baru Police for being involved in a brawl on Gang T, Jalan Kampung Rawa, Johar Baru, Central Jakarta.

"One perpetrator with the initials A was arrested, currently he is still undergoing investigation," said Johar Baru Police Chief Kompol Ari Susanto, Tuesday, September 20.

Kompol Ari explained that the cause of the brawl was a trivial matter. The perpetrator with the initials A is known not to be a native of Johar Baru.
