ast Jakarta Police raided a cosmetics store in Kramat Jati on Tuesday after receiving a report that it was allegedly selling sedatives.
Residents of the area had filed a complaint against the store, which they claimed was being frequented by youths in search of illicit drugs, according to the officer in charge of the raid, Chief Brig. Ambarita.
“We received a report from residents who were concerned about [the situation]. Hence, we processed the report and raided the store,” Ambarita said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

“We found 5,000 Excimer and Tramadol pills. We seized all of them because they were being sold without a doctor’s prescription,” she said.
