The Banten Police's Narcotics Directorate managed to uncover the abuse of methamphetamine around Soekarno Hatta Airport, Tangerang Banten by putting methamphetamine into the body through an anus hole.

The Head of Public Relations of the Banten Police, Kombes Pol. Shinto Silitonga, said that the Banten Police's Narcotics Directorate followed up on information about the shipment of methamphetamine brought from Aceh to Java Island via Soekarno Hatta Airport.

Receiving this information, his party immediately coordinated with the Customs and Excise of the Provincial Office. Banten was then followed up by conducting joint investigations and observations.

"After coordinating with the Banten Prov. Provincial Office of Customs and Excise and knowing about the names and characteristics of the perpetrators, the joint team of the Banten Police Narcotics Directorate and Customs and Excise of the Prov. Banten Regional Office arrested the suspect ZK (52), an Acehnese, MD (32), a resident of Aceh, on Thursday December 1, at around 19.00 p.m. after the two suspects left Terminal 3 of Soekarno Hatta Airport," Shinto said in a written statement, Monday, December 5.

Shinto continued that officers conducted examinations and searches of the two suspects but found no evidence. Furthermore, the team conducted an intensive examination based on information that the two suspects put methamphetamine into the body through the anus to avoid suspicion by officers.

"The team took both of them to the EMC Hospital in Tangerang City to carry out body X-rays and from the X-rays found foreign objects in the form of capsules in the bodies of the two suspects, precisely around the hips. Then the team asked both of them to remove the capsule which was coated with duct tape, balloons and condoms in it containing methamphetamine," added Shinto.

From the results of the examination, the two suspects were ordered by BM (DPO) as intermediaries or couriers of methamphetamine.

"After leaving Soekarno Hatta Airport, the suspect will contact BM to get back directions on where these methamphetamine-type narcotics will be delivered. After this methamphetamine is delivered, the two will immediately return to Aceh where tickets have been prepared by BM. The two suspects have carried out the action twice with the same mode where each of them gets a salary of Rp. 3,000,000, in one delivery and transportation accommodation has been prepared by BM," explained Shinto.

The evidence that was seized in this disclosure was four packages of crystal methamphetamine in the form of capsules, each wrapped in clear plastic and then wrapped in black duct tape wrapped in balloons wrapped again in clear condoms with a total gross weight of around 455 grams.

The modus operandi of the two suspects was to put methamphetamine-type narcotics into the body through an anus hole to avoid being examined by security forces and circulate the methamphetamine-type narcotics by air. "The motive of the two suspects was to get money as a shabu-type narcotics dealer," said Shinto.

Currently, the two perpetrators are being detained at the Banten Police for further investigation and the Banten Police Narcotics Directorate Investigators are still pursuing the DPO, namely BM as the controller of this type of methamphetamine narcotics trafficking network.

"The two suspects are suspected of Article 114 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 112 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (2) of Law no. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics with a minimum imprisonment of 6 years and a maximum of 20 years or life imprisonment or the death penalty," concluded Shinto.
