BNNP Central Java Raids Tegal Nightspot, Nine Test Positive for Narcotics

In an effort to create a safe, orderly environment free from drug abuse, a joint team from the Central Java Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) and BNN Tegal City conducted a focused raid and early detection through urine tests at THM 101 Biliard & Cafe in Tegal City. The raid took place from Wednesday to Thursday, 12–13 August 2026, and was led by the Head of BNN Tegal City, Kunarto.

The activity began with the delivery of appeals regarding efforts to Prevent and Eradicate Narcotics Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (P4GN). Health checks in the form of urine tests were then carried out on a limited and targeted basis, taking into account the availability of test kits. Those examined included employees, mami, and ladies company (LC). The team also searched personal belongings, rest areas, and lockers within the business premises.

Of the 19 people whose urine was tested, 9 people (1 man and 8 women) tested positive for using methamphetamine (shabu) and amphetamine (ecstasy). The joint team’s search also found a number of items of evidence, including 3 ecstasy pills, 2 clip plastic bags containing meth residue, 2 suction devices (bongs), 2 glass pipes, and 1 used straw for meth consumption.

The nine people who tested positive for narcotics abuse are currently being detained at the BNN Tegal City Office and will subsequently be taken to the Central Java Provincial BNN Office in Semarang for further processing.

The Head of BNN Tegal City, Kunarto, said that this action is clear evidence of the seriousness in keeping Tegal City, especially entertainment venues, clean and free from drugs. Today’s findings show that supervision and enforcement must continue to be strengthened, because the threat of drugs can enter anywhere.

“We are not taking action merely to bring people down, but to save them and as a form of our responsibility in the P4GN efforts,” said Kunarto.

Kunarto said the nine people who tested positive will be taken for further handling. All business managers and the people of Tegal City are reminded not to let entertainment venues be used as places for unlawful acts.

“Let us together protect our environment. Do not let drugs destroy our future and our region. We will continue to move, we will not stop, for the realisation of Tegal City Bersinar (Clean from Drugs),” Kunarto urged.

According to Kunarto, through this activity, BNN Central Java Province and BNN Tegal City affirmed their commitment to continue strengthening law enforcement synergy as well as prevention, eradication, and rehabilitation efforts for narcotics abusers.

“It is hoped that this step can increase the vigilance of all levels of society, especially managers and visitors of entertainment venues, so that together we can protect the environment from the threat of drugs and fully support the realisation of Tegal City Bersinar,” he concluded.
