Drug dealer arrested

Drug dealer arrested

North Jakarta police have arrested a man carrying two
kilograms of dried marijuana worth Rp 2 million (US$900) through
Tanjung Priok port, North Jakarta.

The suspected drug trafficker identified as AR, 29, reportedly
told police during questioning that he bought the drug in Banda
Aceh, Sumatra, recently for Rp 500,000 and planned to sell it in
Jakarta.

AR claimed that this was his first deal, but police officers
who have infiltrated the drug buyers network in Jakarta and Aceh
know him as a regular dealer.

The arrest was made when an undercover police officer
approached AR and used the drug traffickers code meaning he
wanted to make a deal. AR was careful about setting up a
transaction, but finally agreed to arrange the sale.

When he took the drug to an agreed meeting place, the police
arrested him as he got out of a taxi. (22)
