Detention center visitor arrested

JAKARTA: Police arrested on Monday a woman who was on her way to visit a detainee in the Jakarta Police's narcotics detention center, finding one gram of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) on her personage.

The police said Widyasari had arrived at the detention center at about 1 p.m., and asked permission to visit a woman, identified as Agustin.

She had passed the check gate -- where a guard had checked her bag -- and was about to enter the center when the suspicion of another guard was raised, due to her "strange behavior".

Conducting a body search, the police found a small package of shabu-shabu in her trouser pocket. -- JP
