Bambang said the two suspects acted as dealers by storing marijuana in plastic and in a spare bag in the room.

After being arrested and interrogated by investigators, both admitted to getting the item from a boss named Melki. Until now, the police are still developing the case, including looking for the boss named Melki's whereabouts.

After being interrogated by officers, suspect RR explained that apart from what he was carrying at that time, he also kept marijuana in a boarding house with the suspect Bayu, his girlfriend, who was known five months ago.

The police moved quickly and secured the suspect Bayu and searched his room. From the rooms of the two suspects, officers found a bag with two large plastic bags containing marijuana.

According to the suspect's statement, the evidence was obtained from a person who is usually called Melki.

The two suspects were assigned by Melki to pick up marijuana that had been placed somewhere, then solved into many parts and then circulated it to customers who had been contacted by Melki by telephone with a salary of Rp. 1 million.

Meanwhile, Denpasar Police Narcotics Head Kompol. Mirza Gunawan said the female perpetrator RR was a person who had direct contact with the boss they named Melki. The suspect RR then together with his girlfriend were desperate to become a courier because he was tempted by the offer of wages from the boss.
