The mode is with evidence of 35 kg of methamphetamine placed in two suitcases. The goods were mixed with the coconut cargo in the L300 car which was successfully secured at the Hatta Toll Exit.

"There was a long series of traffickers, after AG and FZ, officers finally arrested another perpetrator with the initials AW and AR on the North Bakauheni Toll Road, carrying two suitcases containing 42 packs of crystal methamphetamine," added Edwin.

Elsewhere, members of the Bhabin Kamtibmas of the Natar Police, found 17 kg of crystal methamphetamine in a rented house in Srimulyo Hamlet, Natar. These illicit goods, sourced from Pekanbaru, will be sent to Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.

It is possible that the distribution of methamphetamine is related to each other, but officers have difficulty considering that the network owned by the perpetrators is disconnected because it is between countries and requires coordination through Interpol and to find out that the illegal type of methamphetamine came from Thailand.
