Around 8.285 illegal drugs were destroyed in the yard of the Ciracas Sub-district office, East Jakarta, Wednesday (5/29). It was done because these drugs were allegedly often misused by groups of teenagers as doping for brawls.

"Teenagers often consume them as doping to commit acts of violence and brawls," he exclaimed.
