Civil Servants In Bali And Their Beloved Arrested Because Of Methamphetamine Case

BADUNG - Civil servants (PNS) in Bali were arrested by the Badung Police team. A civil servant named Handayana (37) and arrested with his girlfriend Ni Putu Eka Septya Dewi (31) for possessing methamphetamine.

"We managed to secure one civil servant. This means that we do not discriminate against anyone who is a user and a dealer, we will pursue arrests and reveal those who harm the community", said Badung Police Chief, AKBP Leo Dedy Defretes, at the Badung Police Headquarters, Bali, Thursday, September 30.

The lovers were arrested based on reports from residents about drugs. The police monitored and arrested the perpetrators.

However, during the search, no evidence was found. The police also checked Eka's cellphone and found the conversation and address.

From there, the police took the two perpetrators to the location. But the perpetrator said that the drug evidence had been taken and hidden next to the temple in Mengwi Village.

At this location the police found methamphetamine weighing 0.11 grams. Meanwhile, from the perpetrator's boarding house, a suction device and gas lighter were found for the consumption of methamphetamine. The perpetrator admitted to buying methamphetamine for IDR 350,000 from Gus Edi who was in prison.

"The person concerned is registered as a civil servant in one of the institutions. While we are ensnaring the person concerned as a user, we continue to explore whether he is included in the network, meaning as a dealer as well, we are still developing it", said AKBP Dedy.
