TEMPO.CO, Tangerang-The Narcotics Division of Soekarno-Hatta Airport Resort Police have seized 70kg of crystal meth from a shop-house at Arcadia complex in Ceper, Tangerang City, during Monday’s raid, May 23, 2016.


“14 crystal meth packages weighing a total of 70kg was stored inside a blower machine,” Soekarno-Hatta Airport Resort Police Narcotics Division Chief Commissioner Martua Raja Silitonga said Tuesday, May 24, 2016.


The crystal meth was wrapped in 14 transparent plastics. Authorities found that the drug was hidden inside the inner part of the blower machine in the garage. “We have confiscated the evidence,” he said.
