Jayapura Police Chief AKBP Fredrickus WA Maclarimboen explained that the eight youths were arrested Thursday (25/5) after members conducted an investigation.

Initially, a report was received regarding the throwing of a vehicle passing on the Sentani highway, to be precise around the Kampung Harapan bridge, Sunday (21/5).

As a result, two vehicles were damaged and the owner reported the incident to the East Sentani Police.

After being arrested at their respective homes, the eight youths, namely OJW (24), JRY (23), FRSP (21), ISO (22), RK (19), AHW (18), SKP (17), ONO (16) were taken to the police station for questioning.
