Police on verge of huge drug bust

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Police is reportedly on the verge of
making a substantial drug bust involving hundreds of thousands of
Inex pills, a police source said on Thursday night.

A police detective from the Jakarta Police's violent crimes
unit said on Thursday that the drugs, packed in cargo, were
reportedly going to be smuggled from Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport into the U.S.

"Someone from the cargo business tipped us and we are
currently developing the case to get to the bottom of it," the
source told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.

When the Post asked the Violent Crimes Unit chief, First.
Insp. Tagam Sinaga, about the drugs, Tagam said that he could not
say anything about the case.

"We are developing the case ... we are handling it. I cannot
say more. Give me time," Tagam said. (ylt)
