"Yes, that's right," said the Director of Narcotics Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso when confirmed in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, July 10.

The four personnel who were arrested were active members of the National Police. One of them serves as Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit (Kasat Narkoba) of the Nunukan Police.

'Lundup sabu. Four personnel, all police. No civilians,' said Brigadier General Eko.

The arrests of the four police officers were the result of a collaboration between the Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri and the Professional and Security Division (Propam) of the National Police Headquarters.
