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
