JAKARTA Two members of a motorcycle gang who recently troubled residents of Sukabumi Regency, West Java were arrested by the Sukabumi City Police Precision Patrol Team. When arrested, the two members were caught carrying sharp weapons of the type of Katana (sword) and clurit, Wednesday night, June 28. "The two youths had the initials MA (22) and G (22) who were residents of Sagaranten District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java. The two suspects were arrested in front of the gate of the Sukabumi Regency Government Hall on Jalan Raya Ahmad Yani, Warudoyong District, Sukabumi City," said Sukabumi City Police Chief AKBP Ari Setyawan Wibowo, Antara, Thursday, June 29. The information gathered was that the arrest of these two youths began when the Sukabumi City Police Precision Patrol Team was conducting a patrol that happened to coincide with MA and G. The police who suspected their movements, then immediately grabbed them and seemed to avoid them. The officers who became increasingly suspicious, then immediately carried out a search and it turned out that the suspicion of the Precision Patrol Team was proven, because both of them were hiding their sharp weapons behind their clothes. Not only that, the police also confiscated other pieces of evidence that were thought to belong to them such as blue white flags, several pieces of jackets bearing XTC, shirts, jeans, one mobile phone unit and one motorbike. After being searched, the two were immediately taken by officers to the Sukabumi City Police Headquarters who were not far from the location of the arrest.

Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sukabumi City Police, AKP Yanto Sudiarto, said that the handling of the two young men's cases was delegated to his party from the Sukabumi City Police Precision Patrol Team. "In addition, the arrests made by the Precision Patrol Team are a form of anticipation of the occurrence of street crimes and also a form of the Sukabumi City Police's commitment to maintain the security and comfort of residents from various criminal acts. For the purpose of developing the cases, the two suspects have been put into detention cells at the Sukabumi City Police Headquarters and also confiscated evidence," he added.

The two young men were charged with Article 2 of the 1951 Emergency Law with the threat of imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years. Yanto said that the arrests were after the arrests made by the Sukabumi City Police to a number of people who carried sharp weapons were not for their use as firm action and anticipation of cases of street crimes such as assaults, assaults, beatings, and so on. On the other hand, he appealed to the public not to carry sharp weapons under the pretext of protecting themselves, because they still violated the law. Therefore, residents are asked to entrust security to the police.
