Policeman held for selling marijuana

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Local police are questioning a former chief
of the Blang Kejeren police precinct in southeast Aceh for his
alleged involvement in a drug trafficking case.

The forty-year-old man, identified only as Lt. SA, along with
two junior officers, H and M, are suspected of selling 46
kilograms of marijuana.

Police spokesman Capt. P. Budi Astuti told Antara on Tuesday
that the three suspects are being detained at the provincial
police headquarters, and that a special police team has been
assigned to find more evidence where the arrest reportedly took
place.

"We'll nail every single policeman found to be involved in
this case," Budi Astuti promised.

The case was reported following a massive raid three months
ago by the North Sumatra police and military force in the areas
bordering the province with Aceh. Members of the southeast Aceh
military found a two-hectare field of marijuana plants in the
forests of Pinding, Blang Kejeren.
