The Badung Police Narcotics Investigation Unit in Bali has named a male foreign national (WNA) from Australia with the initials NPJ (32) as a suspect in a case of possession of narcotics of the type of cocaine and MDMA.
Badung Police Chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner of Police M. Arif Batubara said the NPJ was found to have cocaine-type narcotics weighing 0.85 grams and MDMA weighing 0.53 grams when it was caught in a hunting operation that violated traffic rules for not wearing a helmet.
NPJ was charged with Article 112 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics with a maximum imprisonment of 20 years.
"From the results of the examination, the NPJ admitted to ordering cocaine from an unknown person on Monday, June 9, 2025, around Ungasan, Jimbaran. It is suspected that the cocaine was used by itself at Villa, Jalan Sempol Pererenan," said Arif in Badung, Saturday, June 14, quoted by Antara.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Badung Police, Adjunct Commissioner of Police Nyoman Sudarma, said that the arrest of the NPJ took place on Monday, June 9, at around 18.00 WITA, at Simpang Tuyung Tutul, Jalan Raya Perrenan, Mengwi District, Badung Regency.
The perpetrator was arrested during routine patrols or system hunting activities carried out by the Badung Police Traffic Unit.
At that time, the NPJ was stopped because of driving without a helmet. The officer's suspicions arose after seeing the nervous behavior of the perpetrator.
"When stopped by traffic personnel on Jalan Perrenan, Tanah Lot, NPJ was related to drug trafficking, where he kept it in his left trouser pocket," he said.

When arrested, NPJ took a woman from the United States.
However, the woman has nothing to do with drug cases. He was a friend he just met that afternoon on a beach in Badung.
The NPJ is now in Badung Police custody waiting for the filing of the case to be declared complete for trial in court.
