KALBAR - The West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Regional Police destroyed 5 kilograms (kg) of crystal methamphetamine and 2 kg of marijuana as evidence. The destruction was carried out through an incinerator belonging to the West Kalimantan BNNP.

"We are doing this destruction to prevent things that are not desirable and have been left as needed for further legal proceedings," said Head of Public Relations of the West Kalimantan Police Kombes (Pol) Raden Petit Wijaya in Pontianak, Friday, October 7.

The narcotics evidence came from a case of smuggling methamphetamine from Malaysia which entered through the Entikong border, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan, on October 24, 2022.

There are four suspects in the narcotics case, namely the controller of illicit goods MD (33), a resident of Lubuk Belt Village, Sekayam District, Sanggau Regency, then YS (38) as a courier for Sosok Village, Tayan District, Sanggau Regency.

"Then the suspect Ef (27) is a resident of Pontianak City, as a marijuana courier as much as two kilograms with the controller who is also MD, so the MD suspect is involved in two cases, namely the case of evidence of five kilograms of methamphetamine and two kilograms of dried marijuana," he said.

"From the results of the examination, the role of suspect AB is to take the illicit goods by taking the mouse road (unofficial street) in the Lubuk Belt area to someone with a DPO in Malaysia," he said.

Raden Petit said that it was suspect AB who handed over methamphetamine to suspect YS with the crime scene in a house located at Balai 2 District, Balai Karangan Regency, and another Malaysian citizen suspect who is also a police DPO in Malaysia.

He added that for the TKP, the suspect EF was arrested, namely while at a Studio kiosk, Photo of Bara Photographi on Jalan Dr Wahidin, Batara Indah 1 Complex, Sungai Jawi Village, Pontianak Kota District, Pontianak City on October 24, 2022.
