The Palmerah Police, West Jakarta, has again raided a hotbed for drug trafficking in Boncos Village. A total of 5 drug users were secured along with evidence.

The raid was carried out again after the police found illegal stalls where the crystal methamphetamine party was located. During the raid, dozens of police spread in the alleys of the Boncos Village settlements.

The raid also used sniffer dogs to maximize the search for drug evidence. Police combed every alley in the densely populated settlement.

Drug users appear to be affected by narcotics, they are suddenly shocked when they see the police coming.

A total of five users did not move when they were secured with evidence of methamphetamine and a suction device. They were arrested while in a rented house.

Palmerah Police Chief Kompol Dodi Abdulrohim said the raid on Kampung Boncos was a routine activity. The goal is for dealers and users to be deterrent when the police often travel there to carry out raids.

"Today, the Palmerah Police raided Kampung Boncos again, we do this activity routinely," he told reporters, Tuesday, August 8.

Kompol Dodi said, as many as five users of narcotics jebis methamphetamine were arrested during a party fun at an empty rented house.

The police secured dozens of methamphetamine suction devices, and sharp weapons of the type of machete from the rented room.

"There was no resistance when it was raided. Because there was already evidence in front of them," he said.

Dodi claims that the circulation of narcotics in Boncos Village is decreasing. Because in the field where drug users are located or what is called the 'Ceban Hotel', only one building is seen standing.

Previously, the existence of stalls where the users of the Kampung Boncos methamphetamine in empty fields could reach three to five semi-permanent buildings.

"If we look at the reduced number of buildings where users are located, it means that the circulation of narcotics here is most likely also reduced. In rented houses where users are usually used, it is also reduced," he said.

Currently, five users and evidence are being taken to the Palmerah Police for further investigation.
