JAKARTA: Indonesian police have seized methamphetamine and nabbed two children who attempt to smuggle drugs into Kerobokan Penitentiary in Bali here the other day. The drugs were found in rice wrapped in paper.
Sixteen-year-old JM and 10-year-old A arrived at Kerobokan prison at 11.45 a.m. to visit their brother Gesi, an inmate serving one year and three months behind bars for sexually abusing a child.
When the prison guard searched the children, he found the drugs. The police said the drugs weighed around 0.2 grams.
According to a prison guard, the two children regularly visited the prison to give food to their brother. JM is a student drop out-turned construction worker, while his brother, A, is a fourth grade elementary school student in Denpasar.
After finding the drugs, the prison guards called the police and officers brought the two children to North Kuta Police station, where the case was handed to the Badung Police for further investigation.
