The Bangka District Attorney’s Office destroyed evidence from criminal cases whose verdicts had become final, together with the regency’s Forkopimda, the regional leadership consultation forum of local government, police, military and prosecutors.[1][2][3] The items were destroyed by being cut and burned at the prosecutor’s office in Sungailiat on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.[1][2] Bangka prosecutors mixed the narcotics evidence with floor-cleaning liquid and blended it, while the bladed weapons were cut and burned.[4][2] Bangka district attorney Herya Sakti Saad said the batch included 324.655 grams of sabu, crystal methamphetamine, 509.28 grams of ganja, the Indonesian term for cannabis, and 79 ecstasy pills.[1][4][2][3] Officers also destroyed six bladed weapons and 159 other items of evidence that the court had ordered confiscated for destruction.[1][2][3]
Herya said the destruction carried out court orders that the evidence be forfeited and destroyed so that it could no longer be used.[1] He said the evidence came from cases detected between about July and October 2026, with narcotics cases dominating the roughly 40 cases processed.[1][2][3] Herya said the number of narcotics cases reaching the office in 2026 was the same as in the first half of the year, with no decline reported.[4] The batch also included evidence from sexual intercourse and rape cases that had been ordered confiscated for destruction.[1] Herya said that in rupiah the destroyed sabu would have been worth about Rp500 million to Rp800 million; no separate value was given for the ganja.[1][2]
Herya said no evidence was taken over by the state in the exercise, which was purely for destruction, and that the office would push for more raids with other agencies to curb drug circulation in Bangka Regency.[1] Herya said the office would ask police officers to step up raids to curb drug circulation in Bangka Regency.[4][2]
