According to him, the two perpetrators Ridwan (35) and Samsul (42) were arrested near the Taming Jorong Taming Batahan Bridge, Kenagarian Batahan, Ranah Batahan District, West Pasaman.

He explained that the arrest of the four perpetrators began on Wednesday, September 22, where members of the eradication section of the West Pasaman BNNK received information related to the entry of marijuana-type narcotics originating from the North Sumatran Connection area to West Pasaman by land.

Receiving this information, the West Pasaman BNNK coordinated with the Head of the West Sumatra BNN Eradication Division, Commissioner Hindra, to request additional personnel from the West Sumatra Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) eradication field to make arrests.

After that, he said again, at around 17.00 p.m. local time, the West Pasaman BNNK went directly to the location where the target suspected of bringing marijuana types of narcotics to West Pasaman was at around 02.30 a.m.

"The Head of the West Sumatra BNNP Eradication Division together with several members of the West Sumatra BNNP eradication team have joined the West Pasaman BNNK eradication team, then developed a strategy to immediately make arrests," he said.

Furthermore, at around 03.00 a.m., the suspected car passed one of the monitoring posts, then the perpetrators were arrested and secured by two perpetrators, Ridwan and Samsul.

Then at around 03.20 a.m., the monitoring team saw a suspicious car passing the monitoring post at an abnormal speed.

Seeing this, the ambush team immediately arrested one unit of the red rush car. But the red rush car was able to pass the road barricades that the team had arranged.

His party immediately gave chase until they ended up on the riverbank in the Pasir Panjang area, with the condition of the car empty.

At around 10:00 a.m., one of the members of the Ranah Batahan Police gave information regarding the discovery of narcotics allegedly thrown by the driver of the red Toyota Rush along the road around the Tamiang bridge.

The team later found four white sacks which contained 50 large packages of marijuana-type narcotics wrapped in brown duct tape.
