Jayapura - The Jayapura Police arrested two drug users who carried 16 packages of marijuana on Jalan Soa Siu, Dok II Bawah, right in front of the Papua Provincial Government Office.
"The 16 packages of marijuana that were recognized for consumption weighed 300 grams," said Head of Narcotics Police of Jayapura City Police, AKP Febry Pardede in Jayapura, Thursday, quoted by Antara.
He said that the two marijuana users, MM (23) and PU (14), were arrested Monday night (15/12) shortly after the members suspected and stopped the motorcycle he was using.
"At that time, the members saw two people riding a red motorcycle from Dok VIII towards the city who looked suspicious and tried to increase the speed of their vehicle so that it was stopped in front of the governor's office," said AKP Febry.
He added, before stopping his vehicle, one of them threw a blue shopping bag which after being taken to be examined turned out to contain marijuana.
Inside the bag was also a silver-colored Tecno Spark mobile phone. Currently, both users have been named suspects and charged under Article 111 Paragraph (1) of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.
"Jayapura City Police will continue to increase efforts to eradicate narcotics in its jurisdiction and appeal to the public to help report information related to drug circulation," said Febry.
