Police Disband Youth Group Suspected of Planning Street Fight in Bogor; Motorcycle Seized
Police dispersed a group of youths suspected of planning to engage in a street fight in Baru Tulis Village, Nanggung District, Bogor Regency, West Java. The action was prevented after police received a report from residents regarding a gathering of youths suspected of planning to fight.
“The report was received through the police emergency service. Initial information was received by the Communications Centre (SPKT) of Nanggung Police Substation from the Bogor Police Communications Centre following a complaint from residents about a group of adolescents suspected of planning to fight in the area,” said Nanggung Substation Commander AKP Ucup Supriatna on Saturday (14 March 2026).
Police officers immediately proceeded to the reported location. This was to anticipate potential street fighting that could disrupt public security and order.
“Before proceeding to the location, officers also coordinated with the village chief and the local hamlet leader to ensure conditions in the area and obtain additional information from the surrounding community,” he said.
Indeed, police found several adolescents gathered and suspected of planning a street fight. Police then took action against them.
“Police officers then took swift action by dispersing the adolescents to prevent unwanted incidents,” he explained.
The youths fled after being dispersed. Police secured one motorcycle from the incident location that was suspected to have been used by the perpetrators.
“During this operation, officers also secured one black Honda Vario motorcycle without registration plates, suspected to be owned by one of the adolescents involved,” he said.
The vehicle was subsequently secured at Nanggung Police Substation for further documentation. Police also urged parents to monitor their children’s activities, particularly at night.
“Public participation is very important in maintaining a conducive security situation. We urge parents to pay more attention to their children’s activities, especially at night, so that the potential for street fighting incidents can be prevented from the start,” he concluded.
