Police seized three kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, locally known as shabu shabu from the suspects, identified as Andi Hasdar, 22, Karaye, 42, Ruslan, 30, and Asri, 29.
Police later apprehended an additional suspect identified as Wella, who allegedly runs the drug syndicate from inside his cell at Balikpapan prison.
