        "content": "<p>A total of 995 firearms, pornographic video CDs, and narcotics were\nfound in a locked room at a private school located in Pondok Pinang,\nKebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. The discovery occurred on Friday\n(10\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found several more weapons. Including, we also found narcotics\nand pornographic CDs,\u201d said Hermawanto, the legal representative of the\nprivate school foundation, at the South Jakarta Metropolitan Police\nheadquarters on Thursday (6\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Hermawanto said that in July, precisely on Friday (10\/7\/2026), his\nteam discovered 995 firearms, ammunition, and several other weapon\naccessories. Then, on Wednesday (5\/8\/2026), his team again found several\nweapons, marijuana and methamphetamine-type narcotics, as well as\npornographic VCDs. Eventually, his team decided to contact the South\nJakarta Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we need to inform the public that because there are a very large\nnumber of weapons, nearly a thousand weapons, we want this case to be\nimmediately followed up seriously by the South Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Untung Sangaji, an expert staff member to the chairman of\nthe private school foundation\u2019s board of trustees, added details about\nthe chronology of the discovery. At that time, the school opened a\nlocked room for the needs of the school\u2019s children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, suddenly when we opened the room for the school\u2019s purposes,\nwe found equipment referred to as weapons. Airsoft guns that can kill\nbecause the barrels are smooth with no rifling,\u201d said Untung.<\/p>\n<p>The findings included 995 rounds of handgun ammunition, a 12\/70\ncalibre shotgun, a 5.56 mm calibre barrel, handguns of 40 and 9 mm\ncalibre respectively, three Glock-type magazines with a capacity of 30\nrounds each, one Walther magazine of .22 calibre, one M4 magazine, and\none bullet-making device.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, officers also found narcotics in an unspecified quantity\nand around 25 VCDs with various contents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask my colleagues to sharpen my words. Why is it that in a school\nthat we greatly respect, from kindergarten, primary, junior high, to\nsenior high school, there are people secretly carrying out their\nactivities there?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the arrival of the private school foundation\u2019s legal\nrepresentative was to request assistance with the investigation process\nfrom the South Jakarta Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause these weapons could be misused and remain dangerous to\nanyone. Moreover, these weapons were stored on school premises, which is\ncertainly dangerous for the students and teachers. So that is what we\nhope for, and we hope the police will process this very seriously,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The South Jakarta Metropolitan Police confirmed the discovery of a\nnumber of firearms and airsoft guns in one of the rooms of a private\nschool foundation in the Pondok Pinang area, Kebayoran Lama, South\nJakarta.<\/p>\n<p>Police received a report from the public regarding the discovery on\n15 July 2026. Investigators had previously prepared a Model A Police\nReport as the basis for initial handling after learning of the\ndiscovery.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the preparation of the Model A Police Report was also\ncarried out as the basis for initial handling before the investigation\nprocess proceeds further.<\/p>",
