Teacher arrested for drugs

DENPASAR, Bali: Police here have arrested a female school
teacher under suspicion of being a member of a major drug ring.

Bali Police's Narcotics Division chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Wayan
Suwena identified the suspect on Tuesday as a 39-year-old junior
high school teacher in Singaraja, a harbor city some 80
kilometers north of here.

"We arrested her three days ago, and up to now she is
still being intensively questioned by our officers," Suwena said.

No further details were given.

"The suspect is believed to be part of a large network of
drug-dealers that mainly operates in Jakarta and Bali. Her areas
of operation were Singaraja and the prime tourism area of Lovina
beach," Suwena added.

Along with the arrest, police confiscated two small packages,
weighing around one gram, of crystal methamphetamine, also known
as shabu-shabu from the teacher. (zen)
