Entang menjelaskan, bentrokan itu bermula dari salah satu kelompok remaja daerah Langon yang menantang remaja Lingkungan Sabrang Lebakgede untuk melakukan perangkat sarong. Kemudian, lanjutnya, disepak oleh keduanya yang akan melakukan perangkat sarong pada malam hari di pinggir Jalan Raya Merak-Suralaya.

"When both parties approached and would carry out clashes, residents immediately dispersed their actions. Responding quickly to reports from residents, the Pulomerak Police Patrol Unit secured the teenagers to get coaching," he said.

The evidence that was secured at that time was in the form of dozens of sarongs that had been wrapped and tied, a Honda Vario Nopol A 4735 CN motorcycle, and a bottle of Ciu liquor.
