The raid was held following the arrest of three men who were caught in possession of 386 kilograms of marijuana at Tangerang-Merak Toll Road last Saturday.
Police first confiscated 40 kg of marijuana from a small truck and upon further investigation seized hundreds of kilograms from another truck at KM 23 on the toll road, Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono said.
The three suspects told the police they got the marijuana from Jali, who was later arrested at his home in Ciputat, South Tangerang, on Friday.
"Jali was later taken to Cibinong to identify other members of his syndicate. But he tried to snatch the officer's gun and that's why we conducted a firm action against him," Argo said on Monday as quoted by Kompas.com.
Argo added that the drugs were allegedly trafficked from Aceh. (yon)
