Indonesia drugs crackdown nets 285 including Australian
Indonesian authorities say they have arrested 285 people suspected of drug trafficking, including 29 women and seven foreigners, and seized more than half a tonne of various narcotics during a two-month crackdown. Indonesia is a major hub for drug trafficking in Southeast Asia despite having strict drug laws, with convicted smugglers sometimes executed by firing squad. The head of the National Narcotic Agency, Marthinus Hukom, said the crackdown, launched between April and June across 20 provinces, also uncovered money laundering schemes by two drug syndicates and confiscated assets worth more than 26 billion rupiah (about $A2.3 million). Thirty-six of the suspects, including 21 women, were paraded in front of reporters, along with confiscated drugs, in their orange prison uniforms and hands handcuffed. Hukom said the women arrested were mostly housewives. "I call on Indonesian women to be more vigilant in establishing friendships both in the real world and in cyberspace," he said during a joint press conference with officials from the security affairs ministry and the customs office who took part in the operation. One of the agency's deputies, Budi Wibowo, said authorities seized 683,885 grams of crystal meth, marijuana, ecstasy, THC, hashish and amphetamines, adding this helped stop them falling into the hands of "more than 1.3 million people". Wibowo also said that drug syndicates have used various methods to distribute narcotics to users via land and sea transportation or mail services. The seven foreigners were a US citizen, two Kazakhs, two Malaysians, an Indian and an Australian, Wibowo said. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says Indonesia is a major drug-smuggling hub in part because international drug syndicates target its young population. In a separate operation, authorities in the province of Riau Island, exposed in May two cases of drug smuggling in its waters and seized 2.7 tonnes of crystal methamphetamine and 1.2 tonnes of ketamine, Hukom said on Monday. In 2023, authorities uncovered more than 52,000 of drug cases and confiscated 6.2 tonnes of crystal meth, 1.1 tonnes of marijuana and other types of synthetic narcotics, said Mohammad Hasan of the ministry of security affairs during the press conference. Hasan said the number increased in 2024 with more than 56,000 cases and confiscated 7.5 tonnes of crystal meth and 3.3 tonnes of marijuana, with a combine value worth 7.5 trillion rupiah. Authorities have arrested a total of 27,357 drug suspects by November 2024, he said. Early this month, three British citizens accused of smuggling nearly a kilogram of cocaine into Indonesia were charged in a court on the tourist island of Bali. They face the death penalty under the country's strict drug laws. About 530 people, including 96 foreigners, are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes, the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections' data showed. Indonesia's last executions, of an Indonesian and three foreigners, were carried out in July 2016.

Woman dead and unborn child lost in Newcastle crash as police search for two teenagers who fled the scene
A woman has died and an unborn child has been lost following a head-on crash in Newcastle, New South Wales, prompting a police search for two teenagers who allegedly fled the scene. Authorities say the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning, after officers spotted a white Holden Commodore being driven in an allegedly dangerous manner near North Lambton. The vehicle was fitted with fake number plates and was carrying four teenagers at the time. Although initially sighted by highway patrol around 2.30am, police did not engage in a pursuit due to safety concerns. A short time later, an officer pulled up behind the Commodore at a set of traffic lights and activated the siren. The driver is said to have responded by accelerating at speed and crossing onto the wrong side of the road. The vehicle was then involved in a head-on collision with another car. A 55-year-old woman visiting from India, who was a passenger in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 28-year-old daughter, who was 25 weeks pregnant, sustained serious injuries to her legs. Police later confirmed her unborn baby could not be saved. The driver of the Holden and one other occupant fled the area before emergency services arrived. Witnesses reported seeing a young male and female running from the scene. Two teenage girls, aged 15 and 17, who were also in the car, were treated by paramedics and transported to John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition, where they remain under police guard. Acting Assistant Commissioner Paul Dunstan confirmed that police are searching for the 19-year-old alleged driver and a 17-year-old girl, believed to have been sitting in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash. A critical incident has been declared, and an independent investigation is now being led by officers from the Hunter Valley Police District to examine the full circumstances surrounding the crash. Authorities are urging anyone with dashcam footage or information relevant to the incident to come forward. The tragedy comes amid a broader national road safety crisis. According to the Australian Automobile Association, up to May 31, 2025, it has been reported to be the deadliest on Australian roads since 2010, with 1,337 fatalities recorded - a 4.8 per cent increase compared to the previous year. In New South Wales alone, six people and an unborn baby have died on the roads since Friday.
