Edwar explained the chronology of the arrest of the suspect's child at his residence in Ciwareng, Purwakarta Regency. He said the arrest of RD began with a community report.

Then members some time ago conducted an investigation and it is believed that this suspect is the perpetrator," said Edwar Zulkarnain in a virtual press conference on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.

"We are waiting at a very mature time. When we made the arrest at the suspect's house, coincidentally in the hands of the suspect, we managed to find 925 Hexymer pills, then 740 Tramadol pills and then 200 Trihexyphenidyl pills," he continued.

Edwar explained that from the statement of the child suspect, since the age of 13, he had consumed drugs, which then continued to be a drug dealer at the age of 14. Until his arrest, RD was still actively trading these drugs.

Regarding the conditions that occurred during the arrest, Edwar did not provide an explanation. He said this was to protect the underage suspect.

"I'm sorry that at the time of the arrest, we can't explain it here. Sorry, because it is very privacy in our opinion, regarding the protection of children," concluded Edwar Zulkarnain.

As a result of his actions, the suspect was charged with Article 196 of the Republic of Indonesia Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health.
