The suspect in a large-scale drug making case in Cipondoh and Karawaci, Tangerang was handed over to the Tangerang Prosecutor's Office by a team of investigators from the National Police drug directorate on Friday.

Sr. Comr. Ari Subowo, who led the team said that the police had completed the case files involving Ang Kim Sui, who holds an identity card issued in Fak Fak, Irian Jaya, as the suspect.

The investigators also handed over evidence, which comprised of documents, more than Rp 2 billion in cash, two mobile phones and a house used by the suspect to produce the drugs.
