PAPUA - Battalion 132/BS Task Force thwarted the smuggling of 5.4 kilograms (kg) of marijuana from Papua New Guinea (PNG) which was brought by three perpetrators.
Kasrem 172/PWY Kol Inf Bayu Sudarmanto said the disclosure of this case was due to routine raids on soldiers.
The raid was carried out on Jalan Trans Jayapura-Wamena, in Uskuar Village, Mannem District, Keerom Regency, Papua, on Sunday, April 23.
During the raid, the three perpetrators were arrested. One of the perpetrators of PNG nationality, AL (23 years) carried 178 packs of marijuana weighing 5.4 kg.
"Two other people were arrested, namely GAB (27) and OM (23)," he said at Makorem 172/PWY in Padang Bulan, Jayapura, Wednesday, April 26, which was confiscated by Antara.
From the initial information, it was revealed that initially the marijuana was about to be handed over to RN to sell for Rp. 1 million per package.
The case of the failure of smuggling marijuana from PNG is not the first because since the last six months Infantry Battalion 132/BS and Infantry Battalion 143/TWEJ have secured about 25 kg of marijuana and the perpetrators.
"After being arrested, the perpetrators and evidence were handed over to the Keerom Police Narcotics Unit for legal processing," said Kol Inf Bayu.
