JAKARTA - Central Jakarta Metro Police said that the perpetrators of street crimes in Central Jakarta often used drugs before carrying out a crime. Based on data from the arrests of criminals, the perpetrators always use or abuse narcotics in each of their actions. This was proven after a urine test was carried out on the perpetrators of the crime and the results were positive for methamphetamine.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol Hengki Hariyadi said the confiscation of 35 Kilograms of crystal methamphetamine worth Rp. 53 billion from an ambush by drug dealers in the Cirebon Rest Area stems from the disclosure of the perpetrators of robbery against the employee of the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) who died as a result of being slashed by sharp weapons by criminals under the influence methamphetamine.

"The Central Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit team then searched for methamphetamine dealers who are suspected of often supplying perpetrators of violent crimes in Jakarta," said Kombes Pol Hengki to reporters, Monday, November 22.

According to the Police Chief, narcotics are the main enemy because of their addictive effects, so they require continuous use and can cause psychological problems.

"Like anxiety disorders, paranoia, can not distinguish between reality and imagination so often act rude and aggressive," he said.

Furthermore, the Police Chief said that the perpetrators of violent crimes who were under the influence of drugs resulted in a loss of fear. Users will lose empathy and have excessive enthusiasm.

"So it is very dangerous. We carry out the pre-emptive strike method," he said.

Previously, the Central Jakarta Metro Police had arrested the main perpetrator of the robbery against a Basarnas employee who died from being struck by a sickle by the perpetrator with the initials ADR alias Mask.

According to ADR's confession to the police, before carrying out the crime, ADR and his gang had a shabu party in the Pulogadung area, East Jakarta.

Street criminals tend to often use drugs to increase their guts. In fact, after carrying out a series of crimes, ADR and his gang returned to partying with methamphetamine using the proceeds from street crimes committed by their gang.

One of them is the case of cellphone robbery against a Basarnas employee who was a victim of robbery on Jalan Angkasa, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, some time ago.
