JAYAPURA, Papua: Jayapura Police have arrested 11 people,
including seven Papua New Guinea nationals, for drug offenses and
immigration violations, a police officer revealed on Monday.

They were nabbed while boarding a boat in Skouw waters near
Jayapura last month, said Adj. Comr. Robert Suweni, an officer
with the Papua Police Water Division.

Police confiscated 400 grams of dry hashish from the two. On
top of drug charges, the PNG nationals were also charged for
entering Indonesian territory without legal documents. -- JP
