Officers from the Banten regional police’s narcotics directorate arrested two men, identified by their initials as AS and MF, when they collected a package at a courier warehouse in Gunung Sindur, Bogor Regency, West Java, on Thursday 8 October 2026.[1] Officers seized 10 packages of cannabis weighing 11,088 grams (11 kg), which police believe belonged to a fugitive identified as PD.[1] They also found plastic bags of methamphetamine weighing 4.56 grams in AS’s shoulder bag.[1]

The cannabis was found in a suspicious package at a J&T Cargo warehouse on Jalan Raya Perancis in Jatimulya, Kosambi, Tangerang Regency, on Wednesday 7 October 2026.[2] Police then used a controlled delivery, coordinating with the courier company to watch the package until it reached Gunung Sindur.[2] AS told officers he had obtained the methamphetamine using map and location directions from another wanted man, ES.[1]

Both men were charged under Indonesia’s 2009 narcotics law, which carries a maximum of death or life imprisonment.[1] Police said they were still looking for PD and ES.[2]
