Jakarta. Two repeat drug offenders, identified as FP, 36, and FK, 29, were caught with 10,100 ecstasy pills at the Community Park Bus Stop in PIK 2, Tangerang, Banten, on Sunday night.
Donald Parlaungan Simanjuntak, Director of Narcotics at the Jakarta Metro Police, said that the bust began following a tip-off regarding an ecstasy distribution plan.

"The suspects disclosed that the ecstasy was obtained from a fugitive, and the drugs are suspected to have originated from abroad, possibly Denmark," he added.
