PEKANBARU - Police from three districts in Riau revealed and confiscated approximately 300 cubic meters of large piles of wood from illegal logging on the border of Indragiri Hulu.
Kapolres Indragiri Hulu, AKBP Fahrian S. Siregar, said that this confiscation started from the unexpected eye of the Deputy Chief of the Riau Regional Police, Brigadier General Pol Jossy Kusumo. On November 21, 2925 he passed by helicopter over the Indragiri Hulu area and saw piles of processed wood neatly arranged on the edge of the canal.
"Reskrim members must make walking startups for hours through bush and dense forests, so they are forced to turn around in the middle of the night due to lack of lighting and for the safety of personnel," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 10.
After various coordinations, the Head of the Inhu Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Arthur Joshua Toreh, and the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Inhil Police, AKP Budi Winarko, on December 4, 2025, departed using ten units of pompong along the narrow stream of the Kanan Gaung River and were filled with fallen wood and water plants.
"In the afternoon, the team had found four processed wood rafts, but they continued to move towards the main coordinate point," said Siregar.
A joint team that had lasted for 36 hours with limited supply finally found the main target. You can see piles of broti and board processed wood stretched along the edge of the canal.
"The perpetrators were not found, but evidence of 300 cubic meters of wood has been secured. Because it was dark and the team ran out of food, they were forced to rest with the sky at the location of the discovery, surviving only with the rest of the energy," he said.
The next day, the team carried out documentation, cubication calculations, and installation of police lines before starting the journey again which was also marked by an incident of damage to four units of pompong due to a collision.
