JAKARTA - The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of West Kalimantan Province destroyed 74.5 grams of ready-to-use dried marijuana from Medan, North Sumatra. There was also a suspect (buyer and user) with the initials MFK (25), a resident of Pontianak City, West Kalimantan.

"We took the suspect into custody when we were going to collect evidence of dried marijuana which was sent via a delivery service from Medan to Pontianak City," said Head of the West Kalimantan Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) Eradication Division, Ade Yana Supriyana in Pontianak, Friday, March 4, quoted from Antara.

Ade Yana Supriyana explained that the evidence was destroyed using an incinerator belonging to the West Kalimantan BNNP.

Marijuana must be destroyed so that it is not misused by irresponsible people. It has also been set aside for evidence during the next legal process.

"The disclosure of the illegal goods transaction was based on public reports, then immediately followed up so that the suspect with the initials MFK was secured," he said.

Based on the confession, the suspect has twice bought the dried marijuana through social media at IDR 350 thousand. This dried marijuana is for those concerned.

From the disclosure of the shipment of dried marijuana from Medan, the West Kalimantan BNNP secured evidence, including 74.5 grams of dried marijuana, 1 car, one sling bag, one BCA ATM, and 1 cellphone, and others.

Ade Yana Supriyana appealed to the public to report to law enforcement officers if they saw or heard of suspicious activity, one of which was preventing the entry of drugs from outside West Kalimantan and vice versa.

Meanwhile, the suspect MFK admitted that he purchased the dried marijuana through social media from someone in Medan. The item was purchased for its own use.
