\npolice officer who was driving a motorcycle for which he did not
\nhave proper documents.<\/p>\n
The police said they would handle the case of the officer in
\nline with existing laws, saying the officer would be treated the
\nsame as the 14 civilians who were apprehended for similar
\nmisdeeds.<\/p>\n
\"Since the officer was arrested in 'civilian' clothes, he will
\nbe treated as all the others,\" police Capt. Rusyidi said.<\/p>\n
The raid took place between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., with officers
\nquestioning motorists leaving Ancol Dreamland.<\/p>\n

\nidentified as Djaf, and 90 pills from the second suspect, J.H.<\/p>\n
J.H. claimed to be a national rowing athlete.<\/p>\n
North Jakarta Police chief Lt. Col. Wisjnu Amat Sastro said on
\nSaturday that J.H. was arrested on Jl. Pademangan, while Djaf was
\narrested after J.H. told police that he had bought the ecstasy
\nfrom Djaf.<\/p>\n
The latter was arrested at his house in the Duta Harapan Indah
\nhousing complex in Bekasi. While searching the residence, police
\nfound a bag of 4,874 ecstasy pills, Wisjnu said.<\/p>\n
\"Djaf had three types of pills -- Superman, Mitsubishi and
\nButterfly -- which he offered to his regular buyers,\" the officer
\nadded.<\/p>\n
Djaf admitted to having bought the pills from someone named A
\nHok in a hotel in West Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Separately, J.H. told reporters that he bought the pills for
\nRp 15,000 each and planned to sell them for between Rp 20,000 and
\nRp 30,000 each to customers at several discotheques in the Mangga
\nBesar area of West Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"From the suspects, we hope we can develop the case and
\nhopefully break the drugs' distribution chain, especially in this
\narea,\" Wisjnu said. (bsr\/emf)<\/p>",
