Bali housewife arrested with meth in boardinghouse

A housewife in North Bali was arrested by police, reportedly whilst doing meth on Sunday. 

Luh Hanny Nove, 32, from Pejarkan Village was arrested along with another man, I Komang Edho Agustian Suartana, in a boarding house in Sumberkima Village, according to Tribun Bali

Head of the Buleleng unit of Narcotics Police, I Made Agus Dwi Wirawan said that Nove and Suartana had long been a target of an operation, but it took time to ensnare them. 

Wirawan says members of his unit trailed Nove as she bought meth from Edho, so as to time the police raid accurately at the kos. 

“As we busted them, they were both using methamphetamine from inside the boardinghouse room,” Wirawan told Tribun Bali. 

In addition to also arresting the two alleged drug perps, police also confiscated two packs of meth at 0.2 grams, a pipette, and other drug paraphernalia.
