Police House in Karawang Vandalized, Suspected Link to Illegal Drug Probe

A police officer's rented house in Lemahmulya Village, Klari District, Karawang Regency, Indonesia, was vandalized by unidentified individuals. Authorities suspect the attack is connected to an ongoing investigation into the illegal distribution of controlled substances.

The Karawang Police Chief, Kombes Pol Mario Prahatinto, stated through Kasi Humas Ipda Cep Wildan that officers from the Narcotics Investigation Unit were probing the circulation of certain hard drugs in the Klari District. During their investigation, officers observed suspicious activity at a stall and subsequently gathered information.

In the early hours of Thursday, July 30, 2026, investigators approached the stall. Several individuals fled the scene, abandoning two motorcycles, which were then secured by the police. However, later that night, a group of unknown individuals targeted the rented house of a police officer.

According to Cep Wildan on Saturday, August 1, 2026, the group allegedly entered the property without permission, armed with sharp weapons. They proceeded to damage the fence, break windows, destroy parked vehicles, and reclaim the two motorcycles previously confiscated by the investigators. Some police personnel present attempted to escape and sought help from nearby residents. Thanks to the swift response from the community, the alleged perpetrators left the scene, and the situation was brought under control.
