Following two recent fatal brawls involving street racers, the Jakarta Police have announced that they will increase patrols in areas prone to street racing in the hope of eradicating the illegal activity.

“We will give orders to all police offices in municipalities and regencies under our jurisdiction to increase patrols in these areas to provide a better sense of security for all Jakartans,” police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto told reporters on Monday.

He said that, if necessary, police would set up permanent posts in some areas to maintain security at all times.

“This way, if the officers see any indication that a street race is about to begin, they can do whatever it takes to prevent brawls as quickly as possible,” he said.

Jakarta Police operations chief Sr. Comr. Agung Budi Maryoto said police have given “special attention” to spots known for street racing.

He named Jl. Asia Afrika and Jl. Benyamin Sueb in Central Jakarta and Jl. Danau Sunter Utara in North Jakarta, as well as Jl. Pemuda and around the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) cultural park in East Jakarta as among the spots targeted.

He also cited Jl. Raya Panjang, streets in the Cengkareng area in West Jakarta and Jl. TB Simatupang in South Jakarta.

“There have always been police patrols in these areas, handled by their respective police offices,” he said.

Three horrific brawls in three consecutive days involving motorcycle gangs have taken place in Jakarta in the past week. Police have found that personal vendettas might have been motives for the horrific assaults that led to the killings.

At around 1:30 a.m. Friday, 10 men on five motorcycles attacked a teenager, Ahmad Gunawan, and three of his friends in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

During the attack, Ahmad, 23, suffered wounds to his head, chest and arms. His friends rushed him to Pondok Indah Hospital, but he died after losing a large amount of blood.

At around 2:50 a.m. Saturday, Soleh, 17, his brother Zaenal and two friends, Reza and Ardian, were about to fill up their motorcycles at a gas station on Jl. Danau Sunter Utara in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, when they were suddenly attacked by a group of motorcyclists.

Soleh died after suffering a deep stab wound to the left side of his waist. Zaenal and Reza suffered wounds to their heads, while Ardian received a minor injury.

On Sunday, at around 2:30 a.m., four teenagers were hanging out at Jl. Benyamin Sueb in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, when a group of 30 motorcyclists ganged up on them and attacked them using sharp weapons.

The teenagers suffered various wounds but have survived. Muhammad Syarif was slashed across his right eye. His friends Fajri, Reza and Mul were each stabbed in the backs. One of their motorcycles was also set alight.

Police said the Tanjung Priok and Kemayoran attacks might have been committed by the same gang, citing that assailants painted their faces white before both attacks.

“We are forming a joint investigation team, comprising detective from the city police headquarters, as well as those from police offices in North Jakarta and Central Jakarta, to handle this case,” Rikwanto said.
