Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Narcotics Directorate of the Jakarta Metro Jaya Regional Police uncovered a methamphetamine distribution case in Palmerah, West Jakarta, arresting a couple suspected of involvement.

The suspects, identified DO (35) and EP (31), were detained on 22 May 2026 after police received community reports of drug transactions in Jalan Keluarga street. 

“Following surveillance, officers caught the suspects during a transaction and seized 6.13 grams of methamphetamine hidden in a paper bag,” said Assistant Senior Inspector Ari Purwanto, the Head of Unit 1 of Sub-directorate 3 of the Narcotics Directorate, on Wednesday (3/6/2026).

Additional evidence included two mobile phones, a digital scale, and plastic clips used for packaging. A follow-up search at their boarding house yielded another phone linked to the crime.

Both suspects are now in custody at Metro Jaya Police headquarters for further investigation.
