Through the Head of Unit 1 Subdit 3 of the Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Directorate, Adj. Comr. Arie confirmed that authorities successfully foiled the distribution of 15.507 kilograms of marijuana in the parking area of Tanah Abang Station, Central Jakarta.

Based on the information, Arie stated that his team had also arrested three men identified by the initials RA (30), TB (25), and AW (33).

“The arrest of the three men began from a tip from the public regarding a suspected drug transaction in the car parking area of Tanah Abang Station,” said Arie on Saturday, 14 February 2026.

Police then conducted surveillance and location mapping. After confirming the targets were on site, the team coordinated with local security before carrying out the operation.

During the search of the three men, police found 10 kg of marijuana stored in a carry bag.

“Further investigation was then conducted at a rented house on Jalan H. Nasa Syamsudin, Kedaung, Pamulang, South Tangerang, where an additional 5.507 kilograms of marijuana was found,” he said.

In total, the marijuana evidence seized amounted to 15.507 kg. Arie confirmed that the three men were arrested at two different locations—the parking area of Tanah Abang Station in Central Jakarta and a rented house in Pamulang, South Tangerang.

The suspects and evidence were subsequently taken to the Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Directorate for further investigation.
