The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Palembang City Police, Police Commissioner Tri Wahyudi, accompanied by the Head of Special Criminal Unit, Police Commissioner Attendant Tohirin, said the two perpetrators were arrested while in the Bukit area on the way to the Musi II Bridge. However, regarding the number of lobster seeds, he could not be sure because he had to wait for the Fisheries Quarantine Center to count the number of fish.
"We caught two perpetrators who were carrying a black Avanza when they checked the contents of lobster seeds. They said they wanted to take the lobster seeds to Lubuklinggau City. Unfortunately, we opened one box containing 20 bags, so the value and amount we saved cannot be ascertained. We are waiting for the Fisheries Quarantine Center," he explained.
The police also arrested two perpetrators, namely Ferdi (26) and Dani (32), residents of Lubuklinggau who brought lobster seeds in the car.
"The perpetrator said they took the goods from Indralaya. He knows the person who ordered it. We will develop it later," he concluded.
