AKARTA: The Jakarta Police arrested two alleged drug traffickers on Jl. Hayam Wuruk, Gambir, Central Jakarta, confiscating 509 grams of crystal methamphetamine.
The police's narcotics deputy director, Adj. Sr. Comr. Wahyu Bintono, said the suspects, identified only as R, a security guard in the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), and S, a private employee, were caught when an undercover police officer posed as a customer.
'We received a tip-off from residents on Monday about alleged trafficker R and nabbed him and his friend on the same day,' he said on Friday.
The police estimate the value of the drugs at Rp 764 million (US$58,256).
The suspects will be charged under articles 114 and 112 of Law No. 35/2009 on drugs, which carries a minimum five-year prison term and maximum sentence of death.
