inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A total of 995 firearms, pornographic video CDs, and drugs were found in a closed room at a private school in Pondok Pinang, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.
"We recovered several weapons. We also found drugs and pornographic CDs," said Hermawanto, the legal representative for the private school organization, at the South Jakarta Sub-regional Metro Police Headquarters on Thursday (8/6/2026).
Hermawanto said that last July, on Friday (7/10/2026), his team found 995 firearms, ammunition, and several other weapon accessories.
Then, on Wednesday (8/5/2026), his team found several more weapons, marijuana and methamphetamine, and pornographic VCDs. This ultimately led to his decision to contact the police.
"So, we need to inform the public that because there are so many weapons, nearly a thousand weapons, we want this case to be taken seriously by the police," he said.
Meanwhile, Untung Sangaji, Expert Staff to the Head of the Private School Foundation's Advisory Board, added a chronology of the findings.
At that time, the school opened a closed room for the students' needs. "However, suddenly, when we opened the room for school purposes, we found the weapons. Airsoft guns that can kill because their barrels are plain and have no grooves," said Untung.
The findings included 995 rounds of ammunition for handguns, a 12/70 caliber shotgun, a 5.56 mm caliber barrel, handguns of 40 and 9 mm caliber each, three Glock magazines with a capacity of 30 rounds, one Walther .22 caliber magazine, one M4 magazine, and a bullet-making tool.
In addition, officers also found an unspecified amount of drugs and approximately 25 VCDs with varying content.
"I implore my colleagues to be discerning. Why are there people secretly conducting these criminal activities in this school that we so respect?" he said.
Therefore, the legal representative for the private school foundation came to request assistance with the South Jakarta Sub-regional Metro Police during the investigation.
The South Jakarta Sub-regional Metro Police confirmed the discovery of several firearms and airsoft guns in a room at the private school foundation in the Pondok Pinang area, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.
The police received a report from the public regarding the discovery on July 15, 2026. Investigators had previously prepared a Model A Police Report as the basis for initial action after learning of the discovery.
