The police confiscated hundreds of liters of traditional tuak liquor which is planned to be marketed in urban areas of Garut Regency, West Java.
Head of the Garut Police Samapta Unit, AKP Ardiyanto, said that the palm wine packaged in jerry cans was confiscated from routine raids found in two places in the Karangpawitan District.
"This raid is part of a routine operation aimed at suppressing the circulation of alcohol in the jurisdiction of the Garut Police," said Ardiyanto in Garut, Sunday, quoted by Antara.
He said that the disclosure of traditional liquor stems from reports from the public who feel uneasy about the existence of a place to store alcoholic drinks.
The police confiscated the palm wine in two different places, the first confiscated seven jerry cans in Sindangpayy Village, Saturday, April 19 in the morning, then eight jerry cans in Sindanggalih Village, Karangpawitan District, early Sunday morning.
"Evidence of alcohol and the perpetrators is currently being secured at the Garut Police Headquarters for processing in accordance with applicable regulations," he said.

He said the results of the interim examination, traditional liquor that can get drunk for people who consume it is usually sold at terminals, and a number of other places in Garut.

He emphasized that the Garut Police had been committed to eradicating the circulation of liquor to provide a sense of security and comfort for the community.
He also appealed to the public to play an active role in helping the police by immediately reporting if they knew or found the circulation of liquor to be dealt with firmly.
