TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Police arrested a teacher from North Aceh District, Zainudin (36), for possession and transporting one kilogram of crystal meth. The arrest was made on Tuesday, July 9, while the suspect was traveling on route to Palembang, South Sumatra, from Medan.

Police say Zainudin was the last out of three suspects they had previously eyed on. His two accomplices Asrin (30) and Sugianto (42) were arrested by the South Sumatra Police just one day earlier for transporting two kilograms of crystal meth.

South Sumatra Police Chief Ir. Gen. Firli explained that the three men were indeed targets that were based on an ongoing investigation.

“In total, we confiscated three kilograms crystal meth,” said Firli.

In total, police arrested four suspects related to the case of drug mule (a person who transports illegal drugs by swallowing them or concealing them in a body cavity) and will charge them with the death sentence under Article 114 and Article 112 (2).
