“Perhaps along the way there were some who did anarchist things and the culmination was attacking the Ciracas Police,” he said.

Rahyanto said that TNI and Polri are currently still investigating the motives behind the destruction and burning of the Ciracas Police Headquarters.

That is why it is hoped that the destruction and burning of the Ciracas Police Department will not happen again.

“We continue investigating this issue with the National Police, what is the reason. Our Pangdam and the Polres are expected to work together, increase patrols in areas that are considered vulnerable. So there is a police unit in our area, so this incident does not have to happen again, ”he said.

When asked if there was a connection between the destruction and the Ciracas Police fire with the 2018 incident, Rahyanto suspected there was no connection between the two incidents.

“This is still a task,” the Commander said earlier, please explore why. Is there a crime between the community and the Police or a crime against the Police? We cannot equate it with yesterday’s case, ”Rahyanto said.

He said the press conference held today was to explain to the public that TNI and Polri worked together to handle the incident.

“We want to explain the situation and inform the public that we are trying to prevent this incident from happening again,” he said.

Previously, the Ciracas Police Department was set on fire and damaged by unknown persons. Police suspect that there are approximately 100 people involved in this incident.

A similar incident occurred at the Ciracas police station in East Jakarta on December 11, 2018. The destruction took place at around 11pm until dawn.

Various masses carried out the destruction and burning, supposedly because they were not satisfied with the handling of the case handled by the Ciracas Police.
