Visitors To The Bandung Detention Center Desperately Hide Methamphetamine And Ecstasy In Underwear And Implementers

BANDUNG, a Class I Detention Center Officer (Rutan) in Bandung, West Java, thwarted an attempt to smuggle methamphetamine and ecstasy by a female visitor on Wednesday (26/11). The mode used is classified as reckless: hiding the illicit goods behind clothes and in the sanitary napkins he is wearing.

The head of the Bandung Class I Detention Center, Mashuri Alwi, explained that this disclosure began with routine examinations at the gate of the detention center. Officers suspect the movements of a female visitor.

At first, nothing was found on his body. However, officers saw the movement of goods into his pocket, so a re-examination was carried out," said Mashuri in Bandung, Thursday (27/11).

Initial Findings And Mode Of Implementing

Based on the re-examination, officers found early signs of smuggling. Mashuri revealed that officers found three small plastic clips containing methamphetamine and two suction devices.

To the officers, the woman argued that she was coming months. To ensure that there are no other prohibited items, the detention center officers took strict steps.

"Officers asked him to change sanitary napkins to make sure no other prohibited items were hidden. Officers witnessed firsthand the process of replacing sanitary napkins to ensure safety and certainty of examination," said Mashuri.

During the process, officers again found greater and more suspicious evidence: a larger package of methamphetamine and a package containing five pills suspected of ecstasy.

Coordination With Police

All the narcotics evidence was immediately secured. The female visitor was immediately taken to the Rutan Security Unit (KPR) for initial examination.

"All evidence was then secured and visitors were taken to the Detention Center Security Unit (KPR) for further investigation," he said.

Mashuri added that his party had coordinated with the Bandung Police Narcotics Unit to handle this case further.

"Currently an inspection is being carried out. We will convey further developments," concluded Mashuri.

The Bandung Class I detention center is committed to tightening supervision, increasing accuracy in the examination of the bodies and luggage of visitors, in order to prevent drug smuggling efforts from recurring into detention facilities.
