JAKARTA - A narcotics dealer with the initials AW alias Elung (32) could only surrender when a raid was carried out by the Tambora Police at his home in the Jembatan II Sinar Budi area, Pejagalan Village, Penjaringan District, North Jakarta.
The suspect was arrested along with evidence of 2.31 kilograms of methamphetamine which was broken down into 11 packages.
Tambora Police Chief Kompol Putra Pratama said the arrests began with information related to the circulation of methamphetamine in his area. The methamphetamine was stored by the perpetrator in a wardrobe during a search.
Based on the confession of the suspect Elung, the perpetrator got the methamphetamine from someone with the nickname Jojo (DPO) in the Jalan Raya Kalimalang area, Bekasi, West Java. The methamphetamine is usually taken by the perpetrators near the trash can.
"So, the perpetrator admitted that he had never met Jojo (DPO) and only communicated via cellphone. Elung took the methamphetamine by sticking it in a place, selling it followed Jojo's instructions (pasting system)," said Kompol Putra when contacted, Tuesday, January 17.
In fact, at the house of the perpetrator, Jojo also asked Jojo to pair CCTV that Jojo could monitor from afar (online).
The suspect Elung admitted that he had been carrying out the methamphetamine drug transaction for five months.
Elung was forced to become a methamphetamine dealer because he never got a permanent job.
"The money from the sale of the narcotics was used to meet daily needs," he said.
The suspect was charged with Article 114 paragraph (2) Sub-Article 112 paragraph (2) of Law No. RI No. 35 of 2009, concerning Narcotics with the threat of death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for a minimum of 6 (six) years and a maximum of 20 (twenty) years.
