TANA TIDUNG - The Tana Tidung Police Narcotics Unit (Satresnarkoba) has dismantled a series of drug abuse of methamphetamine in the Sesayap District, Tana Tidung Regency, North Kalimantan (Kaltara). From the disclosure, three people were named as suspects, including a member of the National Police who is still active in service.
The head of the Tana Tidung Police, AKBP Eko Nugroho, said that the case was revealed after officers first secured a man with the initials Z in Tideng Pale Village on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at around 00.30 WITA in the early morning.
"During the arrest, officers found one small package of methamphetamine with a gross weight of 0.41 grams and a net weight of 0.35 grams, as well as a mobile phone unit that was suspected of being used for communication related to the acquisition of the goods," said AKBP Police Chief Eko Nugroho, Monday, February 9.
From the results of the examination, Z admitted that he got methamphetamine from R, an honorary employee at the Tana Tidung Regency General Election Commission (KPU). This information was then developed by investigators until it led to the next supplier.
"The results of the in-depth investigation led to an individual member of the National Police with the initials H, with the rank of Briptu, who served in the Tana Tidung Police," explained Eko.
Eko emphasized that after conducting a trial with the support of sufficient evidence, on January 27, 2026, investigators officially named Briptu H as a suspect who is currently being detained at the Sesayap Police Station Detention House.
"A total of three people have been named suspects, namely Z, R, and H. Investigators are currently also completing the administrative investigation for the transfer of the first phase of the case file to the Prosecutor's Office," said Eko.
"The evidence secured in this case is in the form of a clear plastic clip containing methamphetamine and a green tosca brand Vivo mobile phone," he continued.
AKBP Eko Nugroho said this disclosure was proof of the commitment of the Tana Tidung Police in eradicating narcotics without discrimination.
"There is no tolerance for anyone who is involved in drugs. Handling this case is done professionally and transparently, including if the person involved is a member of the National Police itself," he concluded.
