"Oh, Uya Kuya. The night before, we witnessed violent actions that seriously disturbed public order. Currently, nine people are still under investigation," Senior Commissioner Alfian told the media.
According to him, the perpetrators of the violent actions were not only local residents, but also came from other areas such as Bekasi and Priok. This situation has complicated matters and requires serious police action.
Senior Commissioner Alfian also appealed to the public not to be provoked into participating in violent actions, especially those that have the potential to lead to looting. This is crucial to maintaining order and security in the surrounding area.

In handling this case, the East Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit will continue to work diligently to uncover all the facts and identify the perpetrators involved in the looting and rioting. All efforts will be carried out professionally and thoroughly to maintain security and order in their jurisdiction.
