Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro told his staff to take firm action if they find groups of teenagers and youth who disturb the comfort of the community when breaking the fast and sahur.

"The action of the convoy on the highway has caused traffic jams and disturbed residents," he said.

To anticipate brawls between residents and youth convoys when breaking the fast and suhoor, the Central Jakarta Metro Police also held Mobile Patrols in places prone to brawls which became the route for the convoy.

The police also established a Ramadan Patrol Shelter Post, which numbered 24 posts at crime-prone points and brawls.

In addition, the Central Jakarta Metro Police also secured a group of teenage convoys from a junior high school in the Kemayoran area, Central Jakarta. From the convoy, the police arrested 49 teenagers.

The youth's activities made other motorists who met their group nervous. The reason is, the teenagers also screamed for opponents of brawls and caused trouble and caused traffic jams on the highway while lighting firecrackers.

"Yesterday we secured a teenager at the Kemayoran Police, then we called his parents to explain why his son and daughter were arrested and saw sharp weapons of the type of machete, firecrackers and flags that were successfully secured," he said.

Then several teenagers have been returned to their parents along with their vehicle after making a statement letter. Meanwhile, a teenager was detained for carrying a sharp weapon of the type of machete. The teenager had the initials MR (20).
