'The drug mule was on his way from Jakarta to Surabaya, East Java,' said Central Java Police narcotics director Sr. Comr. Eko Widodo in Semarang on Thursday.
The drug courier, with the initial D, originated from Sidoarjo, East Java. He carried the contraband in his backpack. The contraband was packed in large bags and placed in a milk carton and a shoe box.
