The suspects cunningly operated their illicit trade from a kiosk cleverly disguised as a grocery store located on Jalan Gagak, RT 07/RW 08 Semanan, Kalideres.
Kompol Rihold Sihotang, the Head of the Kalideres Sector Police, explained that the arrests were initiated following growing concerns and suspicions from local residents regarding unauthorized drug sales activities at the location. “A kiosk, masquerading as a grocery store and situated directly in front of the railway crossing on Jalan Gagak, RT 07/RW 08 Semanan, Kalideres, was raided on Saturday, May 2nd,” Rihold confirmed in Jakarta on Sunday.
During the swift and decisive raid, two alleged perpetrators, identified by their initials ZF (26) and MA (22), were taken into custody. Authorities also made a significant discovery, seizing hundreds of pills of various types of hard drugs. These illicit substances were strongly suspected to be prepared and ready for widespread illegal distribution, posing a serious threat to the community.
