Buleleng Police has reportedly secured as many as 13 motorbikes during a crackdown on illegal street racing that has been a ‘nuisance’ to residents of Singaraja.
The bikes have been taken into Buleleng Police custody along with the riders, who will be given some sort of “speeding tickets” or sanctions for their out-of-control driving, along with a warning and guidance on how not to repeat the offense.
The operation deployed 37 personnel, a combination of officers from the traffic, intel, narcotics, patrol, internal, and logistics units, according to reports.
“We will continue to curb offenders of ‘wild’ racing plaguing society for the convenience of other road users and for the peace of the residents in the city of Singaraja and around it,” the operation head’s I Ketut Gelgel said, as quoted by Antara Bali.
Police say surveillance will be stepped up in some of Singaraja’s busiest points, including Jl. Kartini, Jl. WR Supratman, West Jl. Ahmad Yani, and Vulcano Club.
