Indonesian police in Jakarta said they busted a national drug-trafficking ring, arresting eight suspects and seizing $26 million worth of drugs. The seized drugs included hundreds of thousands of "ecstasy pills" made from methamphetamine, some of them hidden in the storage compartment of a motorcycle, the Jakarta Globe reported. The arrests began last month in the capital area and suspects in those arrests provided information that led to capture of others, a Jakarta police spokesman told the newspaper. The spokesman said some of the suspects, identified only by their initials, allegedly sold the ecstasy pills from their motorcycle by roadside. "According to B.S., all the drugs came from someone called L., who we are still searching for," the Globe quoted the spokesman as saying. The police department's anti-narcotics director said the drugs were all believed to have been smuggled from Malaysia, the report said. "We don't know just yet how they entered Jakarta, but it's clear that they come from outside the country," the official said.
