BANYUMAS POLICE ARREST TWO SUSPECTED DRUG DEALERS, SEIZE 500 KG OF MARIJUANA
Purwokerto, Sept 2 (ANTARA) - Banymas district police have arrested two suspected drug dealers and seized 50 kilograms of marijuana from them, a spokesman said.
"We succeeded in arresting the two suspected drug dealers who have been a target of our operations for the past two months," Banyumas District Police Chief Sernior Commissioner Hari Prasodjo said here Tuesday,
The suspects were identified as Tufhiman alias Iman (32), a resident of Tanjung village, Jati lawang sub district, and Bayu Ismoyo Jati (24) of Kobar village, Purwokerto sub district, Banyumas district. .
"Iman was arrested in Tunjung village, and Bayu in Windunegara village. They said they had obtained the marijuana from a wholesale dealer in Jakarta," Prasodjo said.
The two suspects were believed to be members of a drug trafficking syndicate operating in Banyumas district, he said, adding that police confiscated 50 kilograms of marijuana from Iman, and 250 kilograms of the same drug, in addition to Rp600,000 in cash, from Jarti.
Prasodjo said the fact that Iman and Jati were picked up in villages was an indication drug traffickers had shifted their operations from urban to rural areas. Therefore, police would not limit their anti-drug operations to urban centers but also conduct them in rural areas, Prasodjo said.
