Source discrepancies
Kompas.com, the cited source, and Detikcom both report the Bareskrim statement of 28 August 2026 on the same arrests. They give different dates for three points.
| Outlet | Start of the operation | Arrest of the recipient in Pasuruan | Arrest of the recipient in Bogor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kompas.com (cited) | "bermula pada 15 Agustus 2026" (in English: began on 15 August 2026) | "Pada 17 Agustus 2026, tim menangkap" (in English: on 17 August 2026 the team arrested) | "pada tanggal 24 Agustus 2026 Tim berhasil menangkap tersangka" (in English: on 24 August 2026 the team succeeded in arresting the suspect) |
| Detikcom | "dalam rangkaian operasi sejak 17 Agustus 2026" (in English: in a series of operations since 17 August 2026) | "Hingga pada Senin (27/8), tim menangkap tersangka" (in English: by Monday 27/8 the team arrested the suspect) | "pada Minggu (22/8), tim menangkap tersangka" (in English: on Sunday 22/8 the team arrested the suspect) |
Detikcom's weekdays do not match its dates: 27 August 2026 was a Thursday and 22 August 2026 a Saturday. Both outlets give 18 August for the arrest in Brebes and 27 August for the arrest in Medan. This news item follows Kompas.com, the cited source, and gives an operation from 15 to 27 August 2026.
Dating
Both outlets carry the statement by the head of the narcotics directorate on "Jumat (28/8/2026)" (in English: Friday 28/8/2026), and Kompas.com is dated "28 Agustus 2026, 14:36 WIB". The last arrest in the report is in Medan: "Pada 27 Agustus 2026, tim gabungan menangkap" (in English: on 27 August 2026 the joint team arrested). This news item carries 27 August 2026, the date of that arrest. The statement is dated 28 August 2026.
Place
The dateline of Kompas.com is "JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com". The report names arrests in Pasuruan, Brebes, Bogor and Medan and an inspection at Bakauheni port in Lampung Selatan. This news item is placed in Medan. The report says the two parcels found at Bakauheni were "dikirim dari Medan" (in English: sent from Medan), and the man arrested in Medan told investigators he sold through the Instagram account.
Map pin
The report places a room search in "daerah Padang Bulan, Medan Selayang" (in English: the Padang Bulan area, Medan Selayang). This news item carries one map pin (3.55, 98.63), with Medan Selayang as the locality, for a case with arrests in four places.
