POLICE SEIZE 5 KGS OF 'SHABU-SHABU' IN RAIDS

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Police detectives have seized over 5 kilograms of 
shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) worth Rp 1.2 billion (US$126,000) and 
12,000 ecstasy pills from six suspects in four separate raids conducted 
between Wednesday and Saturday.

Chief of detectives High Comr. Harry Montolalu identified the suspects as 
Frederikus Doppo Ru alias Edy, 37; Ricky Santoso, 45; Edi Citra, 38; Teddy 
alias Asiong, 48; Yauw Chika April Haryanto alias Saikam alias Mami, 50; 
and Yohannes Andrian, 45.

"We'll keep on developing these drug links. The war against drugs does not 
rest with these arrests," Harry told reporters at city police headquarters 
on Saturday.

Harry said that drug squad detectives made their first arrest on Wednesday 
on Jl. Mampang Prapatan Raya in South Jakarta, apprehending Frederikus for 
possessing 100 grams of shabu shabu.

On Thursday, after receiving information from the public, detectives 
arrested Ricky Santoso with 50 grams of shabu-shabu, on Jl. Mangga Besar 
Raya in Central Jakarta.

Detectives made a big catch on Friday with the arrest of Tedy and friends 
at Rajawali apartments in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, at the same time 
confiscating 2.5 kilograms of shabu-shabu from the suspects.

The police capped the series of raids on a high note on Saturday, with the 
finding of 2.5 kilograms of shabu-shabu and 12,000 ecstasy pills at the 
Mitra Bahari Apartments in North Jakarta. They arrested Edi Citra and named
