SEMARANG - Class 1 Penitentiary officers Kedungpane Semarang, Central Java, foiled the smuggling of methamphetamine-type narcotics using tennis balls.

The discovery of methamphetamine occurred while officers were on patrol on Tuesday, October 26 evening. While controlling the prison surroundings, officers found tennis balls in the bushes.

"It is suspected that the ball was thrown from outside the prison walls," said Supriyanto, Head of the Kedungpane Semarang Headquarters, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, October 27.

His party then reported the findings to the Ngaliyan Police. From the results of the examination, it was found that three small plastic clips contained methamphetamine weighing almost 1 gram.

The tennis ball that was thrown from outside the prison walls, said Supriyanto, could not reach the residential block because the distance was too far.

This smuggling attempt using tennis balls is the second time that Semarang Prison officials have disclosed.

Supriyanto said that his party continues to increase surveillance, both by officers and by using CCTV, to prevent narcotics smuggling into Kedungpane prison in Semarang.
