Whiterabbit Jaksel Raided Again, Drug Dealer Caught
The Narcotics Crime Directorate of Bareskrim Polri raided Whiterabbit, a nightclub on Jalan Gatot Subroto in South Jakarta, on Tuesday (17/3) around 00:30 WIB. In this covert operation, police arrested five people, from waitstaff to drug dealers.
A raid on Whiterabbit also occurred on 7 October 2025 related to drug trafficking.
“The Whiterabbit nightclub had previously been subject to an operation by police from the Narcotics Crime Directorate of Bareskrim Polri, and in that operation, facts were obtained regarding drug trafficking,” said Director of Narcotics Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, to reporters on Thursday (19/3).
The five arrested individuals are Farid Ridwan (38), Rully Endrae (41), Memo Hasian Nababan alias Sean (27), Rizky Fridayanti alias Kiki (23), and Erwin Septian alias Ewing (36).
Of these five, Farid and Erwin acted as suppliers, alias drug dealers. The other three suspects are employees of the nightclub.
Eko explained that the raid was conducted after police received information about drug trafficking at Whiterabbit Gatot Subroto.
From that information, police then conducted an undercover purchase by disguising themselves as guests and calling a server named Rizky alias Kiki. The server initially said “I don’t know” and immediately met with the Captain named Memo alias Sean.
Then, Sean, as the captain, immediately contacted Rully, the supervisor. Afterwards, Rully contacted the dealer Ridwan about a drug order from a guest, until finally Ridwan arrived bringing the illicit goods to room S.707.
“On Tuesday, 17 March 2026 at 01:30 WIB, the Joint Team of Subdit IV and NIC Task Force successfully secured a suspect named Farid Ridwan in one of the rooms at Whiterabbit, namely Room S.707,” said Eko.
In that room, police found evidence of pink-coloured XTC drugs amounting to 10 pills wrapped in a clip bag, as well as two pods suspected to contain etomidate liquid.
To the police, Ridwan admitted to obtaining the goods from his friend who invited him to work at the nightclub, namely the suspect Erwin alias Ewing. Meanwhile, Ewing obtained the illicit goods from UKM (fugitive at large, DPO).
“According to Ridwan’s statement, when Ewing received a quantity of goods in the form of narcotics from UKM, Ewing and Ridwan split the goods in two, and then stored them in their respective safes for distribution at the Whiterabbit nightclub, and the proceeds from the sales were stored back in their respective safes,” explained Eko.
Meanwhile, from Rully’s statement, information was obtained that drug distribution to nightclub guests was done when the mami alias Yaser contacted him.
From that information, police then searched all rooms in the nightclub. The result was a plate containing ketamine powder residue ordered by a visitor named EH in room S.202.
Then in room S.209, there was a plate containing ketamine powder residue and its straw, ordered by a visitor named MBN.
Next, in room W.01, there was a used balloon used for inhaling Whipping ordered by DR.
The search was also conducted in the office on the lower floor. Inside there, there were two safes used by Ewing and Ridwan to store a quantity of narcotics and money from selling narcotics to visitors.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen in the billiards room, nine cylinders containing Whipping gas, two baskets containing balloon ties, and one basket containing a quantity of balloons were found.
The suspects and evidence were taken to the Narcotics Directorate at Police Headquarters for examination.
“The team is also developing leads for the arrest of the DPO and related networks,” said Eko.
