JAKARTA - The Central Java Police's Drug Investigation Directorate destroyed 20 kg of marijuana and 4.07 kg of crystal methamphetamine as a result of several times of prosecution.

The destruction was carried out in the courtyard of the Central Java Police's Drug Investigation Directorate office in Semarang, Thursday, using an incinerator.

Before being destroyed, officers from the Forensic Laboratory of the Central Java Police took samples from the two types of drugs to ensure their authenticity.

Of the two types of drugs, officers left little evidence for trial purposes.

Director of Drug Investigation at the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol Lutfi Martadian, said that the 20 kg of marijuana that was destroyed was the result of disclosing the shipment from Aceh to Semarang, which was then sent to West Kalimantan.

"The shipment of 20 kg of marijuana could be thwarted when it entered Semarang, which was planned to be circulated to Kalimantan," said Kombes Lutfi, Thursday, April 14, as reported by Antara.

The 4.07 kg of crystal methamphetamine destroyed, he continued, was the result of disclosing shipments from Malaysia to East Java.

He explained that the 4 kg of crystal methamphetamine was sent by sea disguised in a wooden frame.

"When we arrived in Semarang, we carried out 'control delivery' to East Java," he said.

However, he continued, when the goods were followed to the destination address, it turned out that no party took them.

Thus, he said, there were no suspects in the disclosure of 4 kg of methamphetamine.
