trade 688.7 grams of crystal meth in front of a house-shop in Poris area, Batu
Ceper sub-district, Tangerang municipality, on April 14, 2016. We caught the
suspect, identified by his initials as YAK (37), after he handed over crystal
meth to a 39-year old person identified as ISK," he stated.
Based on information from YAK, the
