JAKARTA, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency in Lampung province has foiled smuggling of 5.277 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, head of the agency's Lampung chapter Brigadier General Jafriedi said Thursday.
"The disclosure of the drug trafficking started with information from the public about the smuggling of methamphetamine from Aceh province to Lampung using a private car in Bandar Lampung City," Jafriedi told a press conference.
Jafriedi revealed that the perpetrators were arrested in Lampung province's capital of Bandar Lampung on June 6.
The perpetrators were taking the contrabands by themselves without couriers, he said, adding that the agency held two persons in a car, and confiscated a plastic bag containing substances suspected of being methamphetamine weighing more than 5 kilograms.
Based on the results of the interrogation of the two suspects, the agency's personnel arrested another perpetrator in Teluk Betung in Lampung, he added. Enditem
