There Is Drug Smuggling In Gulai Ayam, Karawang Prison Officers Successfully Failed

Class IIA Penitentiary (Lapas) officers in Karawang Regency thwarted the smuggling of suspected narcotics items that were put into several pieces of chicken sugar.

Head of the Class IIA Karawang Penitentiary Security Unit, Resnu Parada Andhika in Karawang, Saturday said the smuggling was carried out by a visitor with the initials IM.

He said the goods were smuggled in luggage carried by one of the visitors with the initials IM while conducting a face-to-face visit service, on Saturday at around 10.40 WIB to be given to the inmates of the Karawang Prison with the initials MRA.

However, these efforts were thwarted by the freight search officers, during an inspection of their luggage.

During the examination of the food brought, the officers then suspected that the chicken sugar was wrapped in clear plastic. Inside the sugar can be seen black stems resembling spices.

The officers then told him to open the black stem that resembled the spice in the juice.

After opening and setting aside, the black stem was not a spice. But a straw wrapped in black duct tape. When the straw was opened, it turned out to contain drugs.

It includes white crystalline powder, a package containing five clear plastics containing two ecstasy pills each, a package containing one plastic crystal white and two plastics suspected of being ecstasy powder, and a package containing eight pills suspected of ecstasy pills.

"The total evidence that was secured was four plastic powders in the form of white crystals, two plastics suspected of being ecstasy powder and 18 pills suspected of being ecstasy pills," he said.

Due to this incident, the Karawang Prison immediately reported this incident to the Narcotics Unit of the Karawang Police.

"Evidence was then handed over to the police and the perpetrators were immediately secured for the investigation process," he said.

From IM's statement, he admitted that the item was a deposit from the watershed, which is the wife of the inmates of the Karawang prison with the initials ANH.

The head of the Karawang Prison, Christo Toar, said that the failure to smuggle prohibited goods was a form of foresight and accuracy by officers in examining all luggage brought by visitors into prisons.

"I have repeatedly emphasized to all ranks to carry out thorough examinations, both for people and their luggage to prevent the entry of prohibited items into prisons," he said.
