BANJARMASIN - Police arrested two people who were carrying methamphetamine-type drugs in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (Kalsel). It is estimated that the shabu carried weighed hundreds of kilograms.

"The evidence was wrapped in 10 sacks and the number of shabu-shabu has not been calculated. However, it is estimated that there are hundreds of kilograms, ”said South Kalimantan Police's Narcotics Investigation Director Kombes Iwan Eka Putra as quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 6.

This arrest operation was carried out by a joint team of the South Kalimantan Regional Police's Ditresnarkoba and the Indonesian Police Headquarters Special Task Force for Red and White. Two of the perpetrators brought methamphetamine in a black car with the police number KT 1668 GC.

The perpetrator put a pile of sacks filled with crystal methamphetamine in the back of the car. The two men who carried them were immediately interrogated by the police at the location.

The police were arrested in the parking lot of the Sienna Inn Hotel, Jalan Sutoyo S, Central Banjarmasin, this morning. According to Iwan, the perpetrator was followed from North Kalimantan after the police received information about the smuggling of methamphetamine.

"South Kalimantan is indeed the goal of its distribution," said Iwan.
