Military alerted to pen sniffers

SURABAYA: Brawijaya Military Commander Maj. Gen. Sudi Silalahi
called on military and police to be on the lookout for shiny pens
which are believed to be used as a means to get high.

"Internally, we are calling on everyone to watch out for this
pen," he said as quoted by Antara here on Wednesday.

While police have not been able to prove the existence of the
"addictive" pens, of which the ink is sniffed by people to get
high on, there have been rampant reports of them being sold on
the market.

Although Sudi acknowledged that he had yet to see one, he said
he was taking precautionary measures and making sure that no
soldiers were involved in the distribution of them.
