Place

The Media Indonesia article, the cited source, places the case at three sites: the pedicab stop at "Kebun Lada, Kecamatan Hinai, Kabupaten Langkat", the house searched at "Kelurahan Pekan Besitang, Kabupaten Langkat" and the arrest of the two recipients at "Kecamatan Hamparan Perak, Kabupaten Deli Serdang" (in English: Kebun Lada, Hinai subdistrict, Langkat regency; Pekan Besitang urban village, Langkat regency; Hamparan Perak subdistrict, Deli Serdang regency). This news item carries North Sumatra, Langkat and the locality Besitang, with one map pin (3.82, 98.44) for all three sites.

Attribution

Media Indonesia gives the Gayo Lues to Besitang route as an explanation by the head of the provincial office: "pengungkapan kasus ini berawal dari informasi masyarakat mengenai rencana pengiriman ganja dari Gayo Lues, Aceh, menuju Besitang" (in English: the case began with public information about a plan to send cannabis from Gayo Lues, Aceh, to Besitang). For the stop on 3 September the article gives a different leg: "ganja dari Besitang akan dibawa menuju Binjai menggunakan becak bermotor" (in English: cannabis from Besitang would be taken to Binjai by motorised pedicab).
