JAKARTA LIFE'S STYLE

The Jakarta Police drug division arrested three people suspected of being part of an international drug network.

“Two of the suspects, YN alias NR and SG alias AS, are Indonesian citizens, while the other one, KRT alias AND, is a Malaysian citizen,” drug division director Sr. Comr. Nugroho Aji Wijayanto said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com on Thursday.

YN and KRT were arrested on Monday evening at the City Lofts apartments in Central Jakarta, while SG was arrested at midday on Monday at the Sahid apartments, also in Central Jakarta.

Nugroho said the police had been investigating and trailing the suspects for two months before the arrests. “They are part of an old international drug network,” he said

The police confiscated 8 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, locally known as shabu-shabu. One of the packages contained 1 ounce of high quality crystal meth known as “blue ice”, worth around Rp 3 billion (US$351,000).

“We confiscated 3 kilograms from the first crime scene [City Lofts] and the remaining 5 kilograms were found at the second crime scene [Sahid apartments],” Nugroho said.

The police also seized 10 ecstasy tablets, four cellular phones, three scales, one Malaysian passport and 570 Malaysian Ringgit ($190), 5 Yuan (75 cents) and 17,000 Vietnamese Dong (85 cents). The evidence is worth Rp 15 billion in total.

All the suspects were charged under the Narcotics Law, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The police investigation is ongoing, as two other suspects, AF and AH, both Malaysian citizens, remain at large.
