Two arrested for crystal meth

JAKARTA: Police arrested two men Tuesday -- identified as AYN and DNL -- on Jl. Expo Arena in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, for possession of crystal methamphetamine, a police report said.

Head of the psychotropic drug division at the city police Adj. Sr. Comr. Hendra Joni said he could not reveal the names of the suspects as police were still looking to learn who supplied the men with the drug, popularly known as shabu-shabu.

"We are still investigating the case," Hendra said.

The suspects were caught trying to sell the illegal narcotics by First. Insp. Yohanes, a police officer at the narcotics division of the city police.

During the bust, police confiscated eight packages of crystal methamphetamine totaling 800 grams. --JP
