A LOT National Narcotics (BNN) together with the Tanjung Pura Regional Military Command (Kodam), West Kalimantan uncovered a case of Malaysian network drug trafficking in the Tanjung Pura area. The perpetrator distributes drugs using a new method, namely using drone.

However, Luqman said that officers were waiting at the drop-off location for evidence of use droneno perpetrator came. Thus, TNI AD officers at the location succeeded in confiscating the illicit goods.

Luqman continued in this disclosure that evidence of ecstasy and crystal methamphetamine was confiscated in the Jagoi Babang area. According to Luqman, border areas are indeed a strategy for dealers to distribute these illicit goods.
“Because we have two borders, East and West. From the West, starting from Temacu, Jagoi Babang is what they use and there they usually carry more than 10 kg, 15 kg, and finally we failed to bring 35 kg,” he said.
Then, Luqman said that the perpetrators broke down strategies on small scales. However, his party can still detect it with information from the public and cooperation with BNN.
