MEDAN - A student selling methamphetamine with the initials M (21) was arrested by the police in South Nias (Nisel) Regency, North Sumatra. However, during the arrest process, the police were stopped by the residents.

As a result, there was a clash between the police and the residents. The Head of the South Nile Police, AKBP Reinhard through the Subdivision of Public Relations Bripda Aydi Mashur, said that the arrests began when the police received information from the public about the sale and purchase of narcotics in that place.

Obtaining this information, officers investigated and made arrests. The perpetrator, he said, was arrested while in the shop.

"When the suspect was searched, 3 small clear plastics were found which are strongly suspected of being class I narcotics, type shabu," said Bripda Mashur, Thursday, March 17.

Bripda Mashur said, when the perpetrator was about to be taken, a problem arose. Because the police were blocked by residents.

"A group of people tried to block the officers, even to the point of closing parts of the road for unknown reasons. So that the opsnal team had difficulty bringing in the suspect," he said.

The police have explained to residents that the perpetrator is a drug dealer. Residents then no longer obstruct the police.

"The Narcotics Unit of the South Nile Police took action by strongly appealing to a group of people who blocked the officers by telling them that the suspect in custody was a narcotics dealer," he explained.

In this case, the police confiscated a number of evidence in the form of drugs, namely 2 small clear plastic packets containing crystal powder weighing 0.29 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

"Then 1 clear plastic package containing crystalline powder weighing 2.06 grams is suspected of having methamphetamine," he said.
