The joint police team destroyed 1.5 hectares of cannabis fields ready to harvest in the hills of Gampong Mane, Pante Luah Hamlet, Mane District, Pidie, last Friday. The destruction was carried out by removing and burning at the location. Pidie Police Chief AKBP Imam Asfali, Monday, May 13, said that the marijuana field was in a fairly steep hilly location. To arrive at the location, officers had to travel for one hour. After arriving at the location, officers immediately pulled out 1,500 cannabis stalks ready for the harvest to be destroyed. Imam said the location of the cannabis park was camouflaged with a rice plant titled, to distract the authorities. Not only that, in the same location, 10 kilograms of ready-made marijuana was also found, as well as dozens of plastic bags for methamphetamine packages. This marijuana is hidden under the surau used for resting places.

"Most likely the perpetrators were also involved in the distribution of methamphetamine," said Imam. The police have now pocketed the identity of the perpetrator. It is possible that the perpetrators are still in other areas that have not been found by the authorities.
