“The evidence that was successfully secured was 16.88 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and around 800 pieces of LSD,” explained the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes. Pol. Endra Zulpan in a press conference, Thursday (9/12/21).
Comr. Comr. Pol. Endra Zulpan explained that in this disclosure, his party cooperated with customs and it was known that the modus operandi of the perpetrators in this case was various, one of which was smuggling in a ball.
“Then we have secured and arrested and detained 39 suspects. With the amount of drugs that we managed to reveal, we managed to save the younger generation as many as 85,000 people,” explained Kabidhumas.
Comr. Comr. Pol.
