JAKARTA - Rumors have circulated that the child of a high-ranking Tangerang City Government (Pemkot) was arrested for being involved in a drug case. However, it is not yet known who the child's parents are said to be an official.

The director of the Metro Jaya Police's Narcotics Research Directorate, Kombes Mukti Juharsa, confirmed the arrest. He said, the child had the initials AKM who was arrested in early June 2020.

"Yes, it is true that there was an arrest, but it has been a long time ago, around June 6," Mukti told VOI, Friday, July 3.

Meanwhile, Kasubdit II of the Directorate of Narcotics at Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Bagoes Wibisono added that the arrest of AKM took place at Jalan Taman Bunga V, Tangerang. Then during the arrest, the son of one of the officials was not alone. This is because three of his colleagues were also arrested.

"There are four suspects that we secure. DS, SY, MT, and AKM. The evidence we secure is 0.51 grams of crystal methamphetamine," said Bagoes.

From the results of the investigation, continued Bagoes, the four suspects had planned to buy crystal methamphetamine. In fact, the money used to buy prohibited items was collected from each of the suspects.

"After interrogation, the four suspects explained that crystal meth was obtained jointly," concluded Bagoes.
