Polsek Cileungsi’s Unconventional Approach to Bust Syndicate Adulterating 3 kg LPG
In an unconventional move, the Cileungsi Police District dismantled a syndicate involved in illegal filling of 3 kg LPG cylinders in the Cileungsi area of Bogor. The chief of police sub-district (Kapolsek) personally led the operation by going undercover as a courier.
Kapolsek Cileungsi, Kompol Edison, disguised himself as a courier to spy on the culprits for 4 days, ultimately leading to the exposure of the adulteration scheme and the arrest of one perpetrator. The whole operation was a success.
