The incident involved a mob consisting of 200 people that barraged the Police Petamburan housing complex with stones, Molotov explosives, fireworks, and bottles. These people also totaled at least 11 cars that were parked within the complex and a dozen more of personal vehicles there.

According to Iqbal, police personnel managed to arrest 11 people involved in the incident where most of them originate from outside of Jakarta.

“The majority of the mass came from West Java, Banten, and Central Java,” said Iqbal.

Police are currently identifying the casualties of the riot and commencing an investigation on the string of riots that he says is a meticulously planned attack.

“The incident earlier this morning was not spontaneous. But it was by design,” he said.
