Police search for drugs in disco

JAKARTA (JP): About 100 patrons of a discotheque in Central Jakarta were subjected to a police search of their persons on Saturday night.

The police officers, led by Maj. Agung Sabar Santoso, conducted the operation as part of their efforts to catch distributors of the drug Ecstasy, which police believe is widely circulated in the city.

The police asked the visitors to the discotheque to come outside before searching them for the drug.

The operation, which started at about 10:30 p.m., halted the discotheque's activities for an hour. It also caused a traffic jam in the area. (05)
