JAKARTA: The City Police’s narcotics division revealed on Monday that they had arrested four alleged drug dealers in Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, on Sunday night.
One of the suspects tried to avoid the police pursuit and shot Suripno, a hansip (civil defense officer), before he was apprehended by the authorities.
Suripno sustained an injury to his right shoulder and was taken to nearby Husada hospital for treatment.
“Officers confiscated 11 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 100 ecstasy pills, a SIG Sauer pistol and five bullets from the suspect, identified only as HE,” police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said.
During questioning, HE reportedly confessed that he had bought the drugs from T in Kampung Ambon, an area notorious for narcotics dealing in Cengkareng, West Jakarta.
According to Rikwanto, earlier that night, the police had arrested three of HE’s accomplices, identified as HU, D and E. From them, officers confiscated eight packages of crystal meth and one ecstasy tablet.
