EDAN: Two women, residents of Lhokseumawe, Aceh, were arrested on Wednesday night at Belawan harbor, Medan, North Sumatra, attempting to smuggle crystal methamphetamine (locally known as shabu-shabu) worth Rp 1,9 billion (US$190,000).
Head of the Belawan Customs and Excise Office, Karunia, said his officers found the 1.2-kilograms of the drug hidden under the women's dresses.
He said the women, identified as Mahmudah, 49, and Nilawati, 19, were nabbed upon arrival at the harbor after disembarking a ferry in Penang, Malaysia.
