T
he National Narcotics Agency (BNN) arrested two men, one of them a Taiwanese national, for alleged drug possession in Ancol, North Jakarta, on Thursday.
BNN director of enforcement and pursuance Brig. Gen. Irwanto said on Thursday that officers confiscated 50 kilograms of meth stored in two suitcases.
“We’ve been watching the suspects for some time. Our officers were on standby in Ancol to await the delivery of the drugs,” said Irwanto, as quoted by kompas.com.
According to Irwanto, the suspects used a ride-hailing app service to pick up the suitcases at a warehouse located in Lodan.
The Taiwanese suspect, who was shot in both legs, tried to evade arrest by swimming across a river.
Both suspects have been detained for further questioning. (jlm)
