JAKARTA - The Directorate of Drug Crimes at the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency has taken over the drug case that was dumped by its owner on the Trans Sumatra Toll Road section.

"The handling of the case has been taken over by the Directorate of Drug Crime, Bareskrim Polri since Friday, November 21, 2025," said Director of Narcotics Crime, Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Police Eko Hadi Santoso, quoted by Antara, Monday 24 November.

Eko said that the takeover of drug cases was to speed up the disclosure.

Because the case has been transferred, the drug evidence in this case has also been brought to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

This case began when toll road patrol officers found a black car that had an accident on the Trans Sumatra Toll Road KM 136 on Thursday, November 20.

Head of Public Relations of the Lampung Police, Police Commissioner Yuni Iswandari, said that during the inspection by officers, no people or car drivers were found in the vehicle.

However, when toll officials conducted a sweep around the accident area, a large blue bag was found containing five other bags, namely three brown bags, one dark red bag, and a blue bag that allegedly belonged to the vehicle.

"Knowing the suspicious findings, toll officers immediately coordinated with the TNI and Polri officers, especially the Highway Patrol. The team then went to the location to conduct an inspection. The findings were then opened together and 34 bags were found suspected of being narcotics," he said.

The Lampung Regional Police have conducted an in-depth investigation to find out who owns the vehicle that had an accident.
