Padang Police, West Sumatra, thwarted the circulation of dried marijuana weighing about 14 kilograms from the hands of a gang of dealers arrested last week.
"This type of marijuana is planned to be circulated by perpetrators in a number of areas in the city of Padang, but we failed it," said Padang Deputy Chief of Police AKBP Ruly Indra Wijayanto as reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 12.
The three perpetrators who have now been named as suspects have the initials AF, HB, and DP. They have different roles in the chain of drug trafficking of marijuana.
"The suspect HB acted as a courier to pick up marijuana to the Pengyabungan area, then brought to the city of Padang," he explained.
Meanwhile, suspect D acts as a marijuana collector and suspect AF is in charge of distributing the prohibited items.
The suspects were charged with Article 114 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 111 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.
