Jambi - Jambi Regional Police destroyed 45.38 kilograms of methamphetamine and 24,874 ecstasy pills as a result of the disclosure of narcotics abuse cases by the Jambi Police's Narcotics Directorate during the first quarter of 2023.

Director of Narcotics at the Jambi Police, Police Commissioner Thomas Panji Susbandaru in Jambi, Wednesday, said that all evidence of methamphetamine and ecstasy pills was converted into Rp65.2 billion.

The evidence of methamphetamine and ecstasy pills was confiscated from nine suspects. The disclosure of this case is based on four police reports carried out from January to March 2023.

According to Thomas, the nine people who were named as suspects in drug cases came from different networks.

The destruction of methamphetamine and ecstasy pills was carried out using an incinerator belonging to the Jambi Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) and also a blender.

Prior to the destruction, the Jambi Police's Narcotics Directorate conducted a preliminary examination of the authenticity of the narcotics evidence. This effort was made to ensure that the evidence really contained drugs and not fake evidence.

Tens of kilograms of crystal methamphetamine were put into an incinerator machine to burn. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of ecstasy pills were destroyed using a blender, then mixed with floor cleaning solutions and detergents.

In this extermination, the Jambi Police also involved the Propam Sector, the prosecutor's office, BPOM, and others.

"The Jambi Police will continue to be committed and work hard to eradicate narcotics trafficking in the local area," said Thomas.
