West Jakarta is a safe haven for drugs in the city, a Jakarta Police official said on Sunday.

The Jakarta Police drug division director Sr. Comr. Nugroho Aji Wijayanto said there were more than 100 drug cases per month in West Jakarta.

Central Jakarta and North Jakarta were second and third place, respectively. “Most [drugs] cases indeed happen in West and Central Jakarta, as there are many entertainment spots,” Nugroho said.

He added that users and dealers of drugs such as ecstasy or crystal methamphetamine usually gathered in entertainment clubs.
