"Every passer or driver on the national road section of Badau Subdistrict, we check the luggage, to anticipate the occurrence of smuggling and other illegal activities," said Commander of the Pamtas Task Force Yonarmed Trk Bogani Lt. Col. Arm Edi Yulian Budiargo, quoted from Antara, Sunday.
Edi said that checking or sweeping of motorists was carried out in front of the Pamtas Task Force Kotis Post in anticipation of smuggling such as illegal goods, drugs, liquor, sharp weapons and other illegal activities.
According to him, in addition to anticipating illegal activities, checking drivers at night also aims to create situations where conditions are in border areas, especially in Badau District.
"We carry out routine sweeping of vehicles at night in addition to anticipating illegal activities, as well as to create a conducive situation at the border," he said.
Edi said, as long as vehicle checks run smoothly and no illegal goods were found from motorists, however, supervision in preventing smuggling would continue to be tightened.
He also invited the public to jointly maintain a conducive situation at the border and assist in preventing illegal activities in border areas.
