"In addition to securing the perpetrators, our members also secured the evidence of 1.7 kilograms (kg) of crystal methamphetamine, 1 kg of marijuana, and 168.5 pills of ecstasy," said the Intermediate Officer of Polda Sumsel.
From the evidence that was secured, he continued, the police estimated had succeeded in rescuing at least 12,000 youths.
"We will continue to disclose this case to ensure the younger generation is safe from the entanglement of these illicit goods," explained Kabid Humas Polda Sumsel.
