Two Children in Tomang Distribute Drugs, Police Do Not Expose Due to School Request

Two minors were caught for distributing gorilla tobacco type drugs in the Tomang area, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta.

Disampaikan Kanit Reskrim Polsek Grogol Petamburan, AKP Alexander Tengbunan, dua anak itu berinisial MNM (17) dan SA (16), ditangkap pada Selasa, 16 Desember.

"Both of them are dealers. They were arrested about three days ago in the Tomang area, West Jakarta," said Alex, ANTARA, Friday, December 19.

The two were not arrested during the transaction, but the information that they had stored evidence had already been collected by the police.

"It's not a transaction, but the information about the evidence is there, and it's true," said Alex.

During the arrest, the police also secured a number of evidence, namely four packages of gorilla tobacco weighing 7.91 grams, 14 small packages weighing 7.95 grams, plus three more packages weighing 16.40 grams.

"The total amount of evidence seized was 40.23 grams," he said.

However, because the two perpetrators are still minors, the police decided to place them in the Sentra Handayani Jakarta.

"We haven't decided to rehabilitate him. We still see him as a dealer. But at his age, he is still a child, so we don't expose him. And special requests from the school also don't. Because it affects the child's mental," said Alex.
