Police foiled on Wednesday an attempt to smuggle 502 grams of drugs worth Rp 1 billion (US$111,000) in Tulungagung, East Java.

Police also arrested a middleman, Titus, when he was about to take the crystal methamphetamin or locally known as shabu-shabu package from a courier service.

"We receive information that the drug package is sent from Jakarta to Tulungagung," East Java Police detective chief Sr. Comr. Erwin Azhar Siregar said as quoted by kompas.com.

He added police had monitored the drug network for a week before capturing Titus red-handed. Police were still hunting other suspects.
