Police find 13kg of ganja in a car

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Police detectives have arrested a 48- year-old woman who was caught red handed with 13 kilograms of marijuana in her car on Jl. Binjai here.

North Sumatra Police chief Brig. Gen. Sambas Selasa said yesterday the suspect, identified only as RC, was apprehended Tuesday evening.

Sambas, who interrogated the alleged drug trafficker, said the woman admitted buying the marijuana in Blangkejeren, in southeast Aceh, for Rp 600,000 per kilogram.

She planned to sell the dried ganja here for Rp 700,000 per kilogram, Sambas was quoted by Antara as saying.

When the one-star general asked the suspect whether she knew that being in possession of ganja was against the law, RC replied: "I knew, and I regret what I've done."

Sambas apparently did not force the woman to identify her buyers. (bsr)
