Police Trace Members Of The 201 Kg Sabu Case Syndicate, Worth IDR 156 Billion At The Petamburan Hotel

JAKARTA - The police will investigate other suspicions of the existence of the 201 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine confiscated at the WIR Hotel, Petamburan, Central Jakarta.

The police previously arrested a person carrying methamphetamine at around 22.00 WIB. From his hands, the authorities secured 201 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine which were broken into 196 packages worth Rp156 billion.

"We are still exploring all this because this is new, we know that this is the final recipient. Will there be any further development on it," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 22 evening.

This case began with reports from the public regarding the existence of crystal methamphetamine to be sent to the Jakarta area. The police then managed to arrest 10 perpetrators. Information was obtained that the illegal goods were carried by another perpetrator.

From the results of the development and mapping, finally the trail of the perpetrator was caught carrying shabu-shabu to a hotel in Petamburan.

Subsequently, members of the Ditresnarkoba Polda Metro Jaya secured and found the suspected evidence.

"Until now, we are still developing or are there other suspects or is there any more evidence," said Yusri.

According to Yusri, the eleven actors are international networks. The police suspect the illegal goods came from the Middle East.

This is known based on the code "55" printed on the 196 packets of crystal meth. Especially at the beginning of last year, the police also secured the drug traffickers in Serpong.

"If we look at the code, we still remember that last January 31, we managed to secure the Serpong area and managed to shoot the culprit at that time in the Serpong area when we left the toll road from the direction of Banten," said Yusri.

"From that item, the same code is 55, this is indeed an international network from the Middle East. Why is it said the same? Because the code is the same as this," he said.

The two perpetrators are threatened with Article 114 of the Criminal Code and Law No. 35/2010 concerning drug abuse.
