he Central Java Police have seized a total of 1.1 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine worth around Rp 2 billion (US$175,600) during raids, held from Sept. 10, in various regions across the province, a police officer said.
'We also seized marijuana during the raids,' Central Java Police spokesperson Adj. Sr. Comr. Liliek Darmanto said in Semarang on Tuesday, adding that 109 suspects, both drug dealers and users, had also been arrested.
Liliek said the raids were intended to stop the distribution of narcotics and illicit drugs in the province.
The drug business in Central Java, he continued, had involved a number of police officers, some of which have been sent to the Kedungpane penitentiary, also in Semarang, to serve jail terms.
In many cases, drug distribution was also carried out from inside the prison as inmates had access to cellular phones, smuggled inside, used to run their drug business network behind bars.
