Pharmacy owners arrested for selling illegal drugs
The Jakarta Police have confiscated more than 160,000 medicines that lacked distribution permits and arrested two people for allegedly distributing the drugs.
Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said they suspected the drugs were substandard because they were not accompanied by the appropriate documentation from the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency on their boxes.
The medicines were mainly over the counter capsules and tablets.
The police seized the drugs at two pharmacies in the Poris Garden housing complex in Cipondoh, Tangerang, Banten, and on Jl. Arwana in Penjaringan, North Jakarta, last Thursday.
