Police destroy 700 grams of heroin

JAKARTA: City police destroyed on Thursday two packages of
heroin, weighing a total of 700 grams, which were seized last
month during a drug raid involving three suspects -- two
Indonesians and a Nigerian.

"We destroyed the evidence (heroin) as required by the law, so
that it cannot be used for any other purpose," said head of the
city police drug squad Adj. Sr. Comr. Carlo B. Tewu.

The evidence was seized from Alub Matlubi, alias Dul, 30, and
Nova Herawati, 26, both Indonesians, and Nigerian John Sebastian,
27, who were arrested by the police in Depok last month.

Witnessing the occasion were Suharijadi of the Jakarta
Prosecutor's Office, officials from the Food and Drug Control
Agency and several activists from the Antidrug Movement (Geram),
a non-governmental organization actively campaigning against drug
abuse and trafficking.--JP
