Indonesia’s National Narcotics Agency, or BNN, on Friday arrested an Indonesian
man and three Hong Kong nationals in front of the Mercure Hotel on Jalan Hayam
Wuruk in West Jakarta on charges of trafficking in crystal methamphetamine.
“The three
men from Hong Kong, identified only as K.F.H, Y.W.B, and K.C.Y held Chinese
passports,” BNN spokesman Sr. Cmr. Slamet Pribadi told Indonesian news website
Tempo.co on Saturday.
The BNN
said it found three kilograms of methamphetamine on making the arrests. But the agency conducted a further
investigation and raided an apartment at the nearby Mediterania apartments.
“We found
44 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine at the apartment room,” Slamet said.
The four
suspects were being questioned and, if found guilty of violating the 2009
narcotics law, could face the death penalty.
