Police seize contraband

SURABAYA: The police have confiscated one gun, 62 knives,
100,000 stimulant tablets, 5,000 bottles of liquor and 3,329
Ecstasy pills in last week's operation.

The city police started a month-long operation on Nov. 15,
aiming at curbing street violence and crime.

Among those arrested last week were a couple allegedly in
possession of 2,275 Ecstasy pills. The other 1,054 were seized
from visitors of Stasiun 10 Plaza discotheque.

The police said they hope the couple would help uncover the
Ecstasy trafficking ring in Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest
city after Jakarta.

"We want to link up with Jakarta police to arrest another
couple we suspect are large-scale Ecstasy suppliers to Surabaya.
We already have their data," said city police chief Col. I Dewa
Astika as quoted by Antara. (pan)
