The Central Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit is hunting for a supplier of methamphetamine with the initials J to the head of the RT in the Bungur area, Senen District, Central Jakarta.

"(Oknum Ketua RT) dapat dari J karyawan swasta, lagi diburu," ujar Kapolres Metro Jakarta Pusat, Kombes Komarudin saat dikonfirmasi, Rabu, 14 Juni.

Based on the confession of the head of the RT with the initials EM, he got the drug from the Sumatra region. In addition, EM admitted to the police that this was the first time he had circulated the illicit goods.

"It's a mistake if the confession is once, then try it," he said.

Recalling that EM, a RT head in Bungur Village, Senen District, was arrested by the Johar Baru Police Narcotics Unit for being involved in narcotics trafficking.

When arrested, suspect EM was with two of his friends with the initials AS and IS. They were arrested on Jalan Kalibaru Timur Raya, Senen District, Central Jakarta.

Assistant to the Government (Aspem) of the Central Jakarta City Government, Denny Ramdany, asked the Bungur Village Head to immediately fire the head of RT 15 Bungur who was involved in drugs.

"If indeed the head of the RT is involved in drugs, as reported by him, he is circulating methamphetamine, the village head must take firm action. Dismissal can be carried out in accordance with the regulation of Governor Regulation (Pergub) 22 of 2022 if indeed the head of the RT is proven," said Denny Ramdany when confirmed, Monday, June 12.
