TAIPEI: The Jakarta Police Narcotics Division exposed drugs distribution reportedly involving Taiwanese drugs network and Aceh-Jakarta network. Police seized 3.7 kilograms of methamphetamine from two Taiwan nationals and two Indonesians.
“They use a body-wrapping method. The meth was strapped to their body using duct tape,” Jakarta Police chief Muhammad Iriawan said at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang on Wednesday, April 5, 2017.
The case was exposed based on information provided by Taiwanese police officer Col. Jay Li, who was assigned in Indonesia, saying that two Taiwan nationals would attempt to smuggle meth to Indonesia.
Based on the information, Police watched two Taiwan nationals, LCY and HMY, who had just arrived in Soekarno-Hatta Airport on Monday, March 13, 2017. When Police searched them, meth packages were found strapped on LCY and HMY’s bodies.
LCY and HMY said that the meth would be sent to TAW. Police later arrested TAW in West Jakarta. TAW confessed that he was sent by SGY, a convict at the Cipinang Correctional Facility, to fetch the packages.
Jakarta Police’s Narcotics Division head Sr. Comr. Nico Afinta said that his institution is still developing the case to hunt the brain behind the drugs distribution.
