MATARAM - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Police have taken over the investigation of a drug case under the handling of the Bima City Police.

The Head of Public Relations of the NTB Police, Kombes Artanto, in Mataram, confirmed Friday that the drug case was related to a circulating network in the Bima City area.

"So, in this case there are two people who are included in the police DPO (wanted list). Previously they were caught, but released again," said Artanto.

The two DPOs with the initials H and F. The two perpetrators, who have been fugitives since October 2022, were arrested in Rasabou Village, Bolo District, Bima Regency, Thursday, January 19.

The arrests of the two this time are still in a similar case in October 2022. Evidence of the involvement of the two perpetrators was revealed based on the results of the development of information on N who was caught in October 2022.

"The hunt for H and F is based on the development of the results of the arrest of N, who has now been named a suspect," he said.

From the investigation process, the police have named N as a suspect under the suspicion of Article 112 and/or Article 114 of Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics.

In October 2022, H and F were also caught together with N. They were caught in the Nae Village area, Bima City. During the arrest, 10 grams of crystal methamphetamine was found on the carpet of the car carrying H, F, and N.

The arrest was viral after there was a confession of a woman named Naseparate through a social media video claiming to have trapped H.

Separately, who is now a witness in this case, admitted to working with members of the police during the arrest process.

"Makanya, untuk membuat terang kasus ini, Kapolda NTB memerintahkan jajaran Ditresnarkoba Polda NTB untuk mengambil alih kasus ini," ucapnya.
