The number of drug cases in 2012 has remained stable, the Jakarta Police reports.
The police recorded 4,836 drug cases this year, a rise of only 0.39 percent from the 4,817 cases last year.
“We
have managed to complete all the 4,836 cases we were handling, 100
percent,” Jakarta Police chief Putut Eko Bayuseno said on Thursday at
the Jakarta Police headquarters.
The police arrested 5,941 drug suspects this year, a 1.14 percent increase from the 5,874 suspects last year.
Based on investigations, the police concluded that most drugs were produced outside the country.
“It is more profitable for them to produce the drugs in their home countries rather than here,” Putut said.
