"We destroyed 1,736.33 grams of crystal methamphetamine and 104.5 ecstasy pills weighing 39.57 grams," stated the officer of Unit 1 Sub-Directorate 3 of the Directorate of Drug Investigation (Ditresnarkoba) of Polda Kalsel, AKP Nur Rochim in Banjarmasin, Monday (14/3).
A total of 32 dealers who have become suspects are currently still being processed by investigators at Sub-Directorate 1, Sub-Directorate 2, and Sub-Directorate 3 of Ditresnarkoba Polda Kalsel.
Of the 32 dealers, 30 of them are men and two others are women.
AKP Nur Rochim said that women were often tricked by the network to become couriers who sold drugs, with the promise of getting rich in a short time.
"It's not uncommon that they targeted the housewives in doing their dirty work. Therefore, we remind them to be careful and make them aware of the false promise from the traffickers," he explained,
AKP Nur Rochim also emphasized that the war on drugs will continue and it is hoped that the public will support them by providing information if there is any suspicious activity related to drugs.
Compared to January, the evidence for drugs destroyed by Polda Kalsel this time has generally increased. In January they have destroyed 639.97 grams of crystal methamphetamine and 271 ecstasy pills weighing 104.42 grams.
