JAKARTA - The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) is reported to have confiscated as much as 89 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, as well as shot dead one of its dealers in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province (Sulsel).

"So it is true, there was a drug arrest in Bone carried out by the Central National Narcotics Agency. There were seven sacks of evidence secured with a total of 89 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine," said Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Regional Police, Grand Commissioner E Zulpan.

Apart from confiscating the evidence, one of the suspects is suspected of having been paralyzed by the owner of the property because he fought officers during an arrest on Sunday night in a local district.

"There was one who was secured, and one who was paralyzed, was shot dead for resisting," said the middle-ranking police officer.
