Police arrest drug suspects

TANGERANG: A 16-year-old high school student was arrested by
the police after buying 27 barbiturate pills from a suspected
drug dealer in the latter's house in Kelapa Dua village, Curug
district of Tangerang late on Monday.

The suspected drug dealer, Ujang Herman, 20, along with his
colleague Dedy, 24, were also nabbed.

Police detective chief Insp. Chandra Sukma Kumara said they
raided Ujang's house after receiving information from locals, who
alleged that the suspect often sold drugs to students.

Chandra said police confiscated five kilograms of marijuana
and 135 barbiturates.

Ujang admitted that he sold the pills for Rp 1,000 each to the
buyers, who were mostly students, Chandra said.

"We were a little bit late because just a minute before we
arrived (in Ujang's house), two 'unidentified men' had just
bought two kilograms of marijuana from the suspect," Kumara
added.--JP
