Police arrested three people across Greater Jakarta in late February 2014 after finding more than half a ton of marijuana in trucks travelling from Aceh to Java.[1][2] Alleged couriers A.N. and A.J. were arrested in Beji, Depok, with 84 kilograms; police said the pair had already moved more than 100 kilograms to West Jakarta and to campuses including the University of Indonesia in Depok and Pancasila University in South Jakarta.[1] The pair typically carried at most six kilograms at a time and were paid Rp 100,000 per kilogram.[1]

After arresting the duo, police raided a warehouse in Cikupa, Tangerang, in the early hours of Thursday morning, seizing 350 kilograms and arresting a third suspect, T.F.[1] Authorities said the marijuana was bound for Jakarta-area college students.[2] Investigators would not specify where in Aceh it had been grown.[1]
