JAKARTA - The National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) Law Enforcement Task Force together with the Fish Quarantine Agency and Fisheries Product Quality and Safety Control of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (BKIPM KKP) thwarted the smuggling of lobster clear seeds for Singapore.

Director of Tipidter Criminal Investigation Police Brigadier General Pol Pipit Rismanto as Head of Sub-Satgas Gakkum in a written statement in Jakarta, Sunday, said the disclosure of the case occurred in Kampung Ciero Gede, Kotasari Urban Village, Gerogol District, Cilegon City, Banten.

"The police secured evidence in the form of 2 units of four-wheeled vehicles, which at the time of the ambush contained 10 boxes of sterofoam clear lobster seeds containing approximately 100,000 more seeds," said Pipit.

The chronology of disclosure begins with information about the existence of illegal "baby lobster" transactions. This information was then followed up by the BL Task Force Lidik 1 team led by AKBP Wiwin Setiawan.

Based on the in-depth analysis of this information, it is known that smuggling to Singapore will use the land route through Sumatra.

"The team then carried out observations and observations at the suspected locations," said Pipit.

After conducting an investigation by means of observation, the team suspected two units of four-wheeled vehicles. On Friday, April 16, the vehicle was followed. After that, the team conducted an ambush on the two four-wheeled vehicles.

"Two four-wheeled vehicles are carrying about 20 boxes of sterofoam containing approximately 100 thousand clear lobster seeds," he said.

During the ambush, one driver and one bodyguard fled. However, officers managed to secure a driver with the initials S, a resident of Loji Village, Simpenan District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java.

"The two people who fled are still in hot pursuit," said Pipit.

Pipit added, hundreds of thousands of clear lobster seeds (BBL) were later released by the KKP BKIPM in the Serang area, Banten, with the escort of Bareskrim personnel.

This case will continue to be explored for development purposes. "This was done to reveal the origin of the goods and who was involved," said Pipit.
