Karawang Police Public Relations Head, Ipda Cep Wildan, confirmed\nthat officers identified and arrested one of the main suspects seen in\nthe video. \u201cFollowing up on public concern regarding the viral video of\na group of teenagers armed with sharp weapons in the Klari area, the\nResmob Jatanras team conducted intensive investigations. As a result, we\nhave managed to secure one suspect,\u201d said Ipda Cep Wildan on Tuesday\n(16\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to police data, the criminal act occurred on Saturday, 6\nJune 2026, at around 3.30 a.m. Western Indonesian Time. The location was\nin front of a Madurese food stall in Cirejag Hamlet, Blendung Village,\nKlari District, Karawang Regency. The incident began when two teenagers\nwere gathered in front of the stall. Suddenly, a group of youths on\nmotorcycles arrived, allegedly intending to start a brawl. The group\nmistook the two teenagers for members of a rival group.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two victims, who knew nothing, immediately became targets of\nintimidation and assault. The CCTV footage clearly shows several\nperpetrators armed with sharp weapons during the attack,\u201d he explained.\nThe situation became tense when one of the victims tried to save himself\nby entering the Madurese stall. Although the stall owner shouted at the\nperpetrators not to enter, the frenzied group instead vented their\naggression by making off with the victim\u2019s motorcycle before\nfleeing.<\/p>\n
The case was uncovered following an in-depth analysis of the viral\nCCTV footage by officers, supported by information from the local\ncommunity. The Jatanras team eventually arrested the suspect, identified\nby the initials AHS, aged 21, a resident of Krajan II Hamlet, Gintung\nKerta, Klari District. \u201cDuring interrogation, the suspect AHS admitted\nto his actions. He confirmed that he was the one carrying a sharp\nweapon, a sickle, during the attack, along with his accomplice who is\nstill being pursued,\u201d Ipda Cep Wildan stated. Currently, AHS and the\nevidence are being held at the Karawang Police Headquarters for further\nexamination.
