I suspect that the dealers and informers are one and the same.

A couple of huge kiffs for the boys!

Marijuana is BTW in Bali, especially Kuta (Jalan Legian "ganja. ganja mister"....whispers from the dark!)) quite easy available!

So, I can't really believe the comments by the police that "the raid was the culmination of a month-long police operation", although one can enjoy their attempts to ensure the public knows that they are here to "Serve and To Protect" 24/7. I remember Bali (tourist) police standing a bit ahead of the the junction corner "Peanuts Bar" almost every evening and stopping all the various rental cars there, as they know that almost no one has a valid Indonesian driver licence (a stop goes for 50.000 Rp the piece). Thas what I call a month long (sorry I have to correct: decade long...) police operation!

Anybody, who ever lived in Bali knows that "I speak the truth, and nothing but the truth".

820 grams of weed? Wow, some party they had going on.

With almost a Kilo in possession, it could be viewed that they wanted to sell some as well.

The Hasj was obviously for own use (or already almost sold out).

The caption at the photo is nice though. Still some countries view Heroin and Cannabis as similar: "Drugs are Bad. Won't somebody please think of the children!" just because USA didn't like hemp fiber industries by the native Americans becoming to competitive with their cotton plantations.

Guess they didn't have enough money to pay the police off when they got caught...

Three foreign students studying hotel management in Bali have been busted for possession of marijuana and hashish and are each facing the prospects of four years in jail.

Speaking during a news conference on Wednesday, Badung Police Chief Adjutant Sr. Comr. Dwi Suseno identified the students as Patrick Leland, 19, from the United States, Leon Vrielink, 21, from the Netherlands, and Mischa Karsen, 19, from Germany.

The trio and two Indonesian friends, identified as Ari Ibrahim and Nandin, were allegedly arrested in their rented house on Jalan Belubuh in North Kuta on Monday night.

Dwi said police confiscated 820 grams of marijuana and 4.6 grams of hashish.

He said the raid was the culmination of a month-long police operation undertaken after a tip-off.

“Their urine tests were positive for drugs. They said the marijuana and hashish came from Lombok and Jakarta,” Dwi said.

The students, studying international hospitality (hotel) management at Stenden University’s Bali campus, are currently being detained at Badung Police headquarters.
