BEKASI – A house in the Nusa Dua Citra Gran residential complex, Jatikarya, Jatisampurna, Bekasi City, was raided by police when multiple individuals were allegedly engaged in a drug party on the premises.

The house was rented by a man identified as Abu, or AS, who claimed to be operating a logistics and courier business from the location.

This information was revealed by the residential complex’s security guard, Boih Susanto (43), when met at the scene on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.

“He’s been renting here for almost a year. It’s supposedly for a logistics business, sending goods and all that. But for day-to-day activities, I don’t know much,” Boih told Kompas.com.

According to Boih, the house was not used as a residence by AS and his associates, but rather solely as a location for business operations.

“They just come and go. The house isn’t occupied; only the cleaning crew stays there. It’s like the bosses and employees just come in and out,” he explained.

“There was no suspicion at all. Nothing stood out during the time he’s been renting here. Just guests coming and going,” he added.

Boih also stated that AS was the primary target of the police raid.

“So he (AS) was the target. But his behaviour seemed fine. There was nothing suspicious. It’s just that we don’t know the deeper details,” he said.

He explained that the residential management actually prohibits houses within the cluster from being used for business purposes. However, because the previous owner was unaware of this regulation, the house was eventually rented to AS.

“Business operations aren’t actually allowed here, and haven’t been from the start. Perhaps because the previous owner didn’t know about the rule, the house ended up being rented to someone else,” Boih explained.

“They said they were from the Regional Police and had an assignment letter. Initially they mentioned it was about vehicle theft, not drugs. I happened to be on guard duty that time, so I accompanied them,” Boih recounted.
