The Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) secured 170 kilograms of marijuana originating from Aceh through online sales (online) in the last 2 months (January - February) 2024. "This year alone, 2 months we have succeeded in confiscating 170 kg of marijuana originating from Aceh," said Director of Narcotics Interdiction DJBC Syarif Hidayat quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 8. It is said that marijuana from Aceh which was secured on average was found through online sales to various regions in Indonesia. So far, Customs and Excise have continued to improve online monitoring of drug trafficking for the domestic market in Indonesia. The end, he continued, in the last 2 months his party has found as many as 70 cases of online narcotics trafficking, especially those from Aceh. In 1 day, he said, Customs intercepts two marijuana shipments originating from Aceh or around North Sumatra. "We did intercepts, both its senders and its recipients in Java, Sumatra, and eastern part of Indonesia," he said. He said. It is said that all known narcotics information Customs, then all the data was given to BNN as well as other law enforcement officers to be followed up. "We also sent these data to law enforcement colleagues to be further processed," he said. Based on the data, Syarif added, law enforcement officers (in this case BNN) conducted an investigation upstream, until they finally found their sources or cannabis planting fields in Aceh.

He hopes that the circulation of narcotics in the archipelago can be suppressed as much as possible so that Indonesia is completely clean from these illicit goods.
