Liputan6 writes that the two men were arrested "pada Kamis, 17 September 2026 sekitar pukul 11.30 WIB" and that the police statement is dated "Sabtu (19/9/2026)". Kompas.com quotes the same officer on the arrest day ("Kamis (17/9/2026)") but gives the statement day as "Jumat (19/9/2026)". 19 September 2026 was a Saturday, and the item uses the arrest date, 17 September.

Quantities

Liputan6 gives the weight as "total berat bruto ganja mencapai 62.535 gram", that is gross weight, in 59 packs in three sacks. Kompas.com gives "62.535 gram atau sekitar 62,5 kilogram". The item states 62.5 kg as gross. The "five transactions" are the suspects' own admission to police ("mengaku telah lima kali melakukan transaksi ganja", Kompas.com).

Attribution

Liputan6 says the arrest followed information from the public ("menindaklanjuti informasi dari masyarakat"). Kompas.com does not mention a tip.

Place

Both outlets place the arrest "di kawasan Petamburan, Grogol Petamburan, Jakarta Barat" without naming the premises.

Map pin

The pin is Wikidata's point for the Grogol Petamburan district (Q192723), rounded to two decimals, as a jurisdiction centre. The premises are not named, so it does not mark the arrest.

Related news items

Kompas.com's report is the same event. Another seizure announced by the same police on the same day, of 2.05 kg in Duren Sawit, is recorded as its own news item, because its date, place, weight and police unit differ.
