Police seize multiple motorcycles without documents during raid in Central Jakarta

Central Jakarta Metro Police seized a number of motorcycles lacking proper vehicle documentation during the ‘Operasi Cipta Kondisi’ (Cipkon) operation held in the early hours of Wednesday.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Pol Reynold EP Hutagalung, stated that the stationary operation and regional patrols were carried out as a preventive measure to maintain public security and order (kamtibmas).

“We continue to conduct patrols and raids as a form of the National Police’s presence among the community. The goal is to create a safe, orderly, and conducive situation in Central Jakarta,” Reynold said in a statement in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He noted that the operation, which took place between 01:00 and 04:00 WIB, involved at least 144 personnel from the Central Jakarta Metro Police and local sub-district police units.

“Officers swept through several high-risk areas including Gambir, Tanah Abang, Menteng, Sawah Besar, Kemayoran, Senen, Cempaka Putih, and Johar Baru,” said Reynold.

Nevertheless, several two-wheeled vehicles had to be transported to the command headquarters because the riders were unable to present official documents.

Reynold emphasised the importance of synergy between the police and the public in maintaining local security stability. He also urged citizens to always obey traffic regulations and ensure vehicle documents are complete when travelling.

“We invite the community to work together to maintain public security and order. If you see any potential security disturbances or require police assistance, the public can immediately contact the 110 emergency service,” Reynold added.

By the time the operation concluded towards dawn, the security situation within the Central Jakarta Metro Police jurisdiction was reported to be safe, orderly, and conducive.
