Two perpetrators, namely MLS (26) and H (43), were also arrested in this disclosure.
Dirresnarkoba of the Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pok Donald Parlaungan Simanjuntak in his official statement said, that the disclosure of this case was based on public reports regarding alleged distribution of narcotics in the Tangerang City area. The report was immediately followed up by Sub-Directorate 3 led by AKBP Malvino Edward Yusticia by conducting an investigation. As a result, on Sunday (22/9) one perpetrator with the initials MLS was successfully arrested.
From there, the investigation was developed until it was found that there was involvement of another perpetrator with the initials H. Perpetrator H was arrested at the rest area Km 57 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, Karawang, West Java, this morning. From their hands, 35 kg of crystal methamphetamine aka sabu was confiscated.
“From the two perpetrators of the drug crime, several pieces of evidence were secured, such as 35 kg of crystal methamphetamine aka sabu, 6.480 happy five pills, one motorcycle, one Pajero car, four cellphones,” said Kombes Pol Pol Donald again.
When questioned, the two perpetrators admitted that the illegal goods were obtained from a dealer in Malaysia. The goods will be distributed in the Jakarta area because of the high selling price.
“The crystal methamphetamine aka sabu that was secured came from Malaysia, which was brought by sea to land. The plan was to be distributed to the Jakarta area because the price of crystal methamphetamine aka sabu is very expensive in Jakarta,” said Kombes Pol Donald.
“The information from the two perpetrators is still being investigated by officers from the Metro Jaya Police Narcotics Directorate regarding their network. We will maximize it to uncover their network, including the crime of money laundering,” he continued.

“The Polda Metro Jaya Narcotics Directorate will always be committed to maximizing the eradication of narcotics in the jurisdiction of the Polda Metro Jaya in a firm and measured manner. We will not give the slightest space to the perpetrators of drug dealers,” he emphasized again closing the statement. (Bembo)
