SUKABUMI - The Sukabumi Police Narcotics Unit raided a villa and inn located in the south sea tourist attraction of Sukabumi Regency, West Java because it was caught selling illegal liquor.

"From these villas and inns, we managed to confiscate 78 bottles of illegal liquor brands which were hidden in a special room," said Sukabumi Police Narcotics Head AKP Kusmawan in Sukabumi, Antara, Sunday, February 6.

The villa that was raided by officers is in Cisolok District while for lodging in Citepus Village, Palabuhanratu District. When the raid was carried out the manager could not show a license to sell alcoholic beverages.

According to Kusmawan, the dozens of bottles of liquor were immediately confiscated to be used as evidence and taken to the Sukabumi Police Headquarters, where the owner has been investigated.

This routine activity, which is the Operation for Creating Conditions at the Sukabumi Police, aims to provide a sense of security and comfort for the community, especially tourists who are spending their weekends at beach attractions that are included in the Unesco Global Geopark area of Ciletuh Palabuhanratu.

Disclosure of the sale of liquor without a permit or illegal is thanks to information from the public. The police appreciate and at the same time urge residents if they see or know of any suspicious transactions, whether buying or selling liquor or drugs, to immediately report them to the officers.

As is known, several criminal cases that occurred in the jurisdiction of the Sukabumi Police, the perpetrator or the suspect before taking action drank alcohol to increase courage and self-confidence.

"Not only did we confiscate evidence of liquor, we also conducted urine checks on visitors or guests at the villa and inn in anticipation of the place to rest being misused for drug parties," he added.
