"Five people were secured, one of them was an active member of the Luwu Police, while the other was a resident," said Head of the South Sulawesi BNNP Brigadier General Pol Ghiri Prawijaya as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, December 3.

The arrests of the suspects were based on public reports of narcotics transactions at the boarding house of Padang Hamlet, Puty Village, Bua District, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. From this information, the Palopo City BNN team followed up by conducting surveillance.

"Information from the public often occurs drug transactions in boarding houses, then an investigation is carried out by the Polopo BNN eradication team," he said.
