Hotman said that in this activity, his party also secured 22 motorbikes without documents used for illegal racing.
After the arrest, said Hotma, the police immediately summoned the parents of the teenagers. The aim is to send a message so that parents can supervise their children more.
“We give an appeal to the parents of these teenagers not to repeat illegal racing, because of course it can disturb public order,” he said.
Before being sent home, the teenagers were asked to make a statement that they would not repeat their actions again.
“And it is mandatory to report to the Panongan Police,” concluded Hotma.
