BABEL - South Bangka District Attorney (Kejari) handled 76 criminal cases as of June 2023. Of that number, the most criminal cases related to narcotics.

"Of the 76 criminal cases, 51 have been broken and the rest are still in trial," said Head of Intelligence at the South Bangka Kejari Michael Yp Tampubolon in Toboali, South Bangka, Bangka Belitung Islands Province (Babel), Friday, July 21, confiscated by Antara.

He explained that as many as 51 cases that had been terminated were 16 drug cases, 15 theft cases, 11 mining cases, 3 child protection cases, 3 cases of beatings and 3 other criminal cases.

"Of the 76 cases we handled, 31 were narcotics cases dominated and 15 cases were stolen," he said.

Seeing the high number of narcotics cases in South Bangka, Michael reminded that saving the younger generation from the dangers of drugs is not only the duty of the government.

"It is our duty together with all elements of the nation by working hand in hand to declare war on drugs to create an anti-drug generation," he said.

According to him, a joint commitment is needed in eradicating and fighting the dangers of drugs that have penetrated various groups.

"To break the chain of drug cases, we also need to carry out regular early detection by conducting urine tests within agencies, organizations, communities, campuses/schools and the community," he said.

The role of religious leaders, youth and the elderly, he said, is also very helpful in fighting the dangers of latent drugs.

"Give socialization, education and understanding to the younger generation about the dangers of drugs that can damage the future," he said.
