Along with the evidence, two suspects, identified as AAO (56) and TP (42), were also seized.

This arrest stemmed from a report from the public who were concerned about suspicious activity.

It was confirmed that drug trafficking was taking place at the reported location.

In addition to the ecstasy pills and methamphetamine, evidence of a bong or smoking device, several cell phones, and notebooks suspected of being related to drug transactions was also found.

The Deputy Head of the Polres Metro of West Jakarta Narcotics Unit, AKP Avrilendy explained, that the two perpetrators, AAO and TP, were not just users but also played a role in a drug trafficking network.

“The drugs were obtained from a network outside the area and were planned to be redistributed in Jakarta,” said AKP Avrilendy when contacted by the media on Thursday, April 23, 2026.

From the investigation, the thousands of ecstasy pills were found to have come from a supplier currently on the wanted list in Palembang. The sabu was obtained from West Jakarta.
