inp.polri.go.id – Surabaya. Located in the Drug Village, Jalan Kunti, Sidotopo District, Surabaya, 450 personnel from the East Java Regional Police, Surabaya Resort Departemental Police, Tanjung Surabaya Harbor Police and assisted by the East Java Indonesian National Narcotics Agency carried out raids on locations suspected of being frequently used to carry out methamphetamine parties.
These are small beds made of wood with tarpaulin roofs. Access to the place is through a narrow alley that I bought; in that place has also been installed a fire alarm, which serves to warn that police officers are coming to the location. At that place, the officers found evidence of 4 pockets (Crystal Meth).
"If an officer comes inside, they press the alarm; what is the purpose, so that dealers can run away, so they don't get caught. So, we have supported each other for drug crimes," explained the Head of the Operation Guide Division of the Narcotics Directorate at East Java Regional Police, Pol. Grand Commissioner Syamsul Makali.
In addition, the Head of Operation Guide Division of the Narcotics Directorate at East Java Regional Police also said that in this operation, the officers were hunting for 3 Operational Targets (TO), but the officers only caught one.
"Active tonight, first of all, we have 3 TOs, which we are targeting, in the Kunti area, Sidotopo, but got 1 TO on behalf of MS. The second one is not there," explained the Head of Operation Guide Division of the Narcotics Directorate at East Java Regional Police.
In addition to taking action, officers are also taking action against people who have been on this road from night to morning or suspicious people suspected of using drugs for urine tests.
Furthermore, the Head of the Operation Guide Division of the Narcotics Directorate at East Java Regional Police explained that the personnel were prepared because they were densely populated. There were many tiny boarding houses and immigrants from everywhere, and this place was a vulnerable area.
Meanwhile, when asked about the officers' efforts to eliminate the stigma of Kunti street as a drug den, Pol. Grand Commissioner Syamsul Makali said that the first thing he did was conduct raids like this to create a deterrent effect.
"If so, it is still here. So yes, we are conducting another massive operation here," explained the Head of the Operation Guide Division of the Narcotics Directorate at East Java Regional Police.
"In the future, it is possible that we will establish a village post that is clean for drugs, a clean and tough village."
