Bogor – Bogor Police took 30 unmarried couples from several hotels in Parung, Bogor, on Friday evening and brought them to police headquarters for questioning.

A senior detective with the Bogor Police, Adj Comr Luky B Irawan, said that the arrest of the couples was part of campaign to honor the holy month of Ramadan in the area that has predominantly Muslim residents.

"We hope that everyone honors the arrival of Ramadan," he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com. He said that the couples were released after the police lectured them on their misdeeds.

Luky said that hotels should be more selective towards their guests during the fasting month. The police also arrested around five motorbike riders who conducted illegal races on Jl Tegar Beriman.
