The Jakarta Police have raided an illegal drug factory in a shop house in Tubagus Angke, West Jakarta, after being tipped off by a suspect arrested earlier.
The arrested man, identified only as BPK, is being held in the Salemba police detention center in East Jakarta.
The detainee said drugs were being produced in the shop house, Sr.Com. Anjan Pramuka Putra, director of drugs unit at the Jakarta police, was quoted by Kompas.com as saying.
The police then raided the building, seizing 5 kilograms of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine), 2 kilograms of which was in liquid form, from the fourth floor of the four-story shop house in the Duta Square complex.
In the raid, the police arrested two men allegedly involved in making the drugs.
The police said they arrested BPK after arresting a man, identified as AS, for possessing 0.3 grams of crystal methamphetamine. The man said he had bought the drugs from BPK.
Anjan said the drug factory had been running for a year, and produced Rp 7.5 billion worth of drugs per day. However, he added, the factory had not been producing drugs for a month.
“Maybe because they lacked raw materials,” he said, adding that some of the materials were imported.
