Yogyakarta Police have arrested a Malaysian university student, identified as SFK, who was caught smoking marijuana.
'The suspect, who is enrolled at a university in Yogyakarta, was apprehended at his boarding house in Ngemplak, Sleman. He is the son of an oil tycoon from Selangor, Malaysia,' said Yogyakarta Police narcotics director Sr.Comr.Widjanarko on Wednesday.
SFK is one of 28 people arrested during a month-long operation by the Yogyakarta Police narcotics division, which took place from March 17 to April 17.
'The 28 suspects were arrested in 12 different locations in Bantul and Sleman regencies and Yogyakarta city,' said Widjanarko.
Ten of the 28 suspects were arrested for using shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine).
During the operation, police also confiscated leftovers of shabu-shabu and hashish, funnel tubes to inhale the crystal meth, cell phones and Rp 100,000 (US$10.3) in cash.
Widjanarko said his division had informed the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta about the arrest of their national, since when the embassy had sent its officials to visit the Yogyakarta Police.
'We are investigating all the cases to uncover drug rings in the province,' said Widjanarko. (ebf)
