Tribratanews.polri.go.id - Bandar Lampung. The National Police-Criminal Investigation Agency supports the Lampung Regional Police in investigating the presence of asphalt waste on the coast of Lampung.
Director of Special Crime of Lampung Regional Police, Pol. Grand Commissioner Ari Rachman Nafarin, said that the National Police Headquarter assisted the investigation in discovering the perpetrators of the waste.
Police Grand Commissioner Ari Rachman Nafarin, said that the waste that pollutes the coast in several districts in Lampung Province comes from Corporate Ships.
The waste doesn't seem to come from land but ships, and there are allegations that this waste was intentionally dumped by one of the passing ships, he said, Monday (09/23/21).
"Because we can see from the distribution that it is very wide, from the coast of Kota Agung, Tanggamus to South Lampung, so it can't be from factories or anything from land, what is certain is from passing ships," continued Pol. Grand Commissioner Ari Rachman Nafarin.
Regarding this, the Lampung Regional Police requested assistance from the Syahbandar to check the data of ships passing through the coastal area of Lampung.
"Today, the The Criminal Investigation Agency and Harbourmaster of Lampung are coordinating to monitor ships going in and out of the village for the past 7 days," explained the Director of Criminal Investigation at the Lampung Regional Police, Pol. Grand Commissioner Ari Rachman Nafarin.
So far, his party has not found a bright spot regarding the source of the waste and the point where the waste spilled, on that basis, it will expand the monitoring area so that it needs assistance from the Syahbandar and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarter.
Asked about the sampling of the waste, Arie explained that his party had taken samples with the Lampung Provincial Environmental Service, but the results were not yet known at this time.
