Polda Metro Jaya thwarted efforts to circulate 389 kilograms of 'Afgan Sabur' type of methamphetamine. The circulation of drugs is controlled by international networks.

"Disclosure of the crime of drug trafficking of methamphetamine as much as 389 kilograms of the Afghanistan-Jakarta international network," said Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto to reporters, Wednesday, November 20.

The disclosure of the narcotics case began when investigators from the Narkorba Investigation Directorate received information that there would be a large circulation of methamphetamine in the Cengkareng area, West Jakarta.

The information was followed up. Exactly, on Sunday, November 17, drug trafficking efforts were detected.

"This TKP was obtained on Jalan Cengkareng, Kedaung Village, Cengkareng District, West Jakarta, about 500 meters from Ambon Village," he said.

At that time, there were two people suspected of coming to the location by car. Then, they got off and got in the existing box car before the two of them arrived.

Without thinking, the police immediately moved and arrested the two men.

"In the disclosure of this case, two suspects were arrested on behalf of MS 30 years old and CT 32 years old who acted as couriers," said Karyoto.

Meanwhile, the Director of Drug Investigation at the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Donald Parlaungan Simanjuntak, said hundreds of kilograms of crystal methamphetamine belonged to the Afghanistan network.

It refers to the jar of crystal methamphetamine storage with the logo 'Afgan Sabur'.

"That in the taperware package there is a logo that reads afgan sabur. From there we believe that this is a network of the Middle East from Afghanistan," said Donald.

In addition, it was also stated that 389 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine were packaged into 315 plastic jars with the Afgan Sabur logo.

Meanwhile, regarding the controlling figure, said Donald, his identity was known. This is based on the statements of the two suspects who are the right hands of the drug controller.

Currently, a special team has been formed to address the drug controller of the Afghanistan-Jakarta network.

"We have indeed formed a special team to pursue this controller. We will pursue him wherever we can. Because the two people we secure besides him, the courier is a person who is trusted by the controller," said Donald.
