JAKARTA - An online motorcycle taxi driver (Ojol) named Nur Hasan (45) was forced to deal with the East Jakarta Metro Police Satnarkoba after being caught smuggling 535.25 grams of methamphetamine into the Class 1 Cipinang Prison, East Jakarta.

The arrest began when the perpetrator came as an ojol driver wearing complete attributes of helems and ojol jackets. He pretended to be a family of inmates.

He hid the methamphetamine in a packaged rice to trick the officers. When the officers discovered the trick, the perpetrator tried to escape but was caught.

The perpetrators also dodged and could not show the online motorcycle taxi application to the officers.

Based on the results of the examination, apparently the perpetrator wanted to give methamphetamine to a man named Brian Taufan Ramadani who was a prisoner in Cipinang Prison.

Then the prison immediately coordinated with the East Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit for the sake of further investigation.

In addition, officers also conducted an examination of an orderer or inmate named Taufan and found a cell phone.

Head of Cipinang Class I Prison, Wachid Wibowo, said the arrest began with the foresight of the guard officers who suspected the behavior of a man in an online motorcycle taxi jacket in the parking area.

"When approached and questioned, the man tried to escape. Officers swiftly managed to secure him and took him to the Supervision and Examination Post (Wasrik) for further investigation," he said when confirmed, Friday, April 11.

Then after the examination, officers found a package containing methamphetamine with a gross weight of 553.25 grams.

Furthermore, the Head of the Prison Security Unit (KPLP), Sumaryo immediately coordinated with the East Jakarta Metro Police for further legal proceedings.

The evidence was also handed over to the police, and the perpetrators were immediately secured for the investigation process.

East Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Deputy, AKP Suminto said, from the perpetrator's confession, he admitted that he was paid Rp. 3 million to deliver the narcotics.

For his actions, Nur Hasan was charged with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.

"The threat of punishment imposed is the death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for a minimum of 6 years and a maximum of 20 years," said AKP Suminto.

Currently, the case is still being developed by the East Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit to uncover a network of other suspects who are inside and outside the Cipinang Prison.
