After conducting surveillance and mapping the scene, officers moved in and detained three suspects identified as RA (30), TB (25), and AW (33).
During a search at the location, police discovered 10 kilograms of marijuana packed inside a carry bag.

At the second location in Tangerang Selatan, officers uncovered an additional 5.507 kilograms of marijuana, bringing the total seizure to 15.507 kilograms.
