        "summary": "Police in East Java have seized 23 packages of pure cocaine, weighing approximately 22.226 kilograms, discovered scattered along Pasir Putih Kahuripan Beach in Sumenep, highlighting a major narcotics bust valued at hundreds of billions of rupiah on the black market. The packages, initially mistaken for methamphetamine, were found by a tourist and secured by local officers before being confirmed as cocaine through laboratory testing. Authorities suspect the drugs had been adrift at sea for several days, underscoring ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in Indonesia's maritime regions.",
        "content": "<p>As many as 23 packages suspected to contain cocaine were found on\nPasir Putih Kahuripan Beach, Giligenting Subdistrict, Sumenep, East\nJava. The case is still under police investigation. The discovery of the\ncocaine packages was made on Pasir Putih Kahuripan Beach, Lombi Timur\nHamlet, Gedugan Village, Giligenting Subdistrict, Sumenep, on Monday\n(13\/4). The packages were subsequently handed over to the East Java\nRegional Police (Polda Jatim). East Java Police Chief Inspector General\nNanang Avianto stated that the find represents one of the largest\nnarcotics seizures in mid-2026. Nanang explained that the cocaine\npackages were initially discovered by residents who were holidaying and\nthen reported to the police. \u201cAround 11:00 WIB, a resident with initials\nD was holidaying on Pasir Putih Kahuripan Beach, Gadugan Village, Gili\nGenting Subdistrict, and saw several plastic packages branded \u2018Bugatti\u2019\nscattered along the beach,\u201d said Nanang during a press conference at\nEast Java Police Headquarters, as reported by detikJatim on Thursday\n(16\/4\/2026). In response to the resident\u2019s report, personnel from Gili\nGenting Police Station immediately headed to the location. Officers\nfound nine packages still neatly arranged inside a thick grey tarpaulin,\nwhile dozens of others were scattered along the beach sand. A total of\n23 packages were secured by officers in the initial stage. \u201cThis (grey\ntarpaulin bag) was specifically designed for delivery via waterways,\u201d\nNanang stated. Nanang explained that officers initially thought the\nitems were methamphetamine. However, due to striking physical\ndifferences, he immediately deployed a team from the East Java Police\nNarcotics Directorate to Sumenep by helicopter for direct inspection.\n\u201cThe gross weight reaches 27.803 kilograms. After re-checking, the net\nweight is around 22.226 kilograms. Lab tests confirm that the find is\npure cocaine,\u201d explained the two-star general. This discovery is\nconsidered extraordinary given the extremely high price of cocaine\ncompared to other types of narcotics. Nanang estimated the price per\ngram could reach millions of rupiah. \u201cThe price of cocaine on the black\nmarket reaches Rp 5 million to Rp 7 million per gram. If calculated\ntotal, the value of the 22 kilograms of seized cocaine could reach\nhundreds of billions of rupiah,\u201d Nanang concluded. According to Nanang,\nhis team has analysed the location and condition of the evidence. He\nsuspects the packages had been floating in the sea for several days.\n\u201cAfter that, we took it to the forensics lab in Sumenep, then we brought\nsamples and the complete results from the forensics lab, after\nsupervision by the Professional and Security Division and Narcotics,\nwhich we involved; from here it can be concluded that after deducting\nsand and packaging, from 23 boxes the net result is 22.226 kg,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>",
