Satresnarkoba investigators of Polresta Cirebon seized 10 kilograms of dried
cannabis and arrested two suspects identified only as AR and AZ in an East
Cirebon distribution case.[1][2] Officers first detained a buyer in Cirebon Timur
and used that lead to identify the two suspects.[3][2] Police then entered a
house allegedly used to store and repackage the cannabis and found the suspects
dividing it into small packages for sale.[4][2]
From AR officers recovered nine large packages weighing about 9 kilograms gross
hidden in traditional woven bamboo baskets, and from AZ another 1 kilogram
package, making the 10 kilogram gross total.[4] Police said the cannabis was
supplied from a Jakarta network and was intended for sale in the Cirebon area,
with investigation into the higher supply network continuing.[3][2]
Police estimated that profit from reselling the cannabis could reach nearly
double the capital spent.[3] Polresta Cirebon announced the case at a press
conference on Monday, 2 November 2026.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- The articles give only the 2 November 2026 press-conference and publication date, with no separate date for the arrests and house search.
- The reports say officers first secured a buyer, but do not say whether that buyer was arrested or charged, so only AR and AZ are counted as arrested.
- Radar Cirebon and Inilahnews report the threatened penalty as up to 12 years in prison and a Rp2 billion fine, while Jabar Publisher reports life imprisonment to the death penalty, so the report states only the shared Article 114 charge.
- The detailed breakdown describes the 10 kg as gross weight, with no net weight published.
- No court outcome beyond the Article 114 charges has been reported yet.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in Jabar Publisher: Both suspects reportedly worked only as casual laborers and treated cannabis dealing as a side job for quick profit.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in Jabar Publisher: Police charged AR under Article 114(2) and AZ under Article 114(1) of the Narcotics Law as amended by the 2026 Criminal Adjustment Law.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in Jabar Publisher: Both suspects were held in the Polresta Cirebon detention cells while investigators traced the distribution flow and the suppliers above them.
