Sidoarjo district police said they uncovered 147 drug cases between August and
October 2026 and detained 180 suspects, comprising 174 men and 6 women.[1]Antara reported the same August-to-October operation in Sidoarjo, East Java,
with the same total of 180 suspects.[2]Police said five prominent cases
involved sabu in large amounts.[1]
The seizures listed for the operation were 1,765.13 grams of sabu, 4.41 grams of
ganja, 2,089 ecstasy pills and 30,486 LL pills.[1]Police estimated the
combined haul’s economic value at about Rp35 billion and said the seizures had
saved about 20,000 people from drug danger.[1]
Police said the suspects mainly used dead-drop stashing called sistem ranjau,
cash on delivery and other people as couriers.[1]Police identified Taman,
Gedangan, Krian, Tulangan and Waru as the five subdistricts most vulnerable to
drug circulation.[1]The suspects were charged under articles 114, 111 and/or
127 of the 2009 Narcotics Law and provisions of the 2023 Health Law.[1]The
police chief said enforcement would not stop with the couriers and that
investigators would pursue higher networks including fugitive dealers.[1]
No cannabis-specific arrest total was published; the 180 suspects cover all 147 drug cases, which were dominated by sabu.
No cannabis-only value was published; the Rp35 billion figure covers all seized drugs together and is excluded from cannabis figures.
The sources do not link the 4.41 grams of ganja to any named suspect; the detailed prominent cases all involved sabu, ecstasy or Hexymer-type pills.
The incident date uses the 4 November 2026 announcement; the operation itself ran from August to October 2026 with no separate seizure date for the ganja.
The two accounts describe the charges differently: Media Indonesia cites the 2023 Health Law for the narcotics charges while Antara cites the 2023 Criminal Code for narcotics and the Health Law only for LL pills.
