Marijuana trafficker arrested in Bima

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Bima Police have arrested a man
identified as Ricky for the possession of 250 grams of dried
marijuana.

"The suspect was arrested when he was making a transaction
with three consumers -- David, Ronald and Bendo -- in Rasane
Timur in Bima regency," Adj. Sr. Comr. Budi Susanto, chief of the
Bima Police precinct, said here on Thursday.

He said the police had also confiscated 1.5 kilograms of dried
marijuana from three suspects whose case was being handled by the
local attorney's office.

"We still have to investigate where the marijuana is supplied
from," he said, adding that the consumption of marijuana and
illegal drugs has increased in the regency this year.

He said he had proposed that law enforcers, especially judges,
impose stiffer penalties on drug traffickers and consumers in an
attempt to fight the increasing number of drug cases in Bima
regency. --Antara
