JAKARTA - The East Jakarta Police have confiscated 156 kilograms of marijuana ready for distribution, suspected of being smuggled using an expedition crate to Jakarta. The smugglers use the mode of sticking the logo of the State Electricity Company (PLN).

"The perpetrator packed the marijuana in a wooden box bearing the PLN logo, as if the goods were sent from PLN and Telkomsel to trick the expedition officers," said East Jakarta Police Chief, Kombes Arie Ardian, quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 5.

The East Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Investigation Unit arrested three traffickers associated with this mode. The suspect's arrest began with information from the delivery service in the East Jakarta area regarding a suspicious package originating from Aceh.

"After it was found that the package contained marijuana, officers immediately unloaded the wooden crate," he said.

From the results of the investigation, said Arie, three suspects namely FS (25), MR (25) and MI (20) were arrested by officers on Jalan Sirtu Semanan, Kalideres, West Jakarta, Thursday.

The officers also confiscated two wooden crates bearing the PLN logo on the cover. Inside, there are 103 packets of marijuana with brown tape weighing 156 kilograms.

"The price of one box is Rp. 5 million, weighing one kilogram. What is clear from the number of them is the dealer or dealer," said Arie.

The suspect charged with Article 114 paragraph (2) sub-Article 111 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (1) of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics with a threat of a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 20 years in prison.
