The National Narcotics Agency in Banten (BNNP) has arrested three Lion Air
employees for allegedly being consuming crystal methamphetamine at a hotel in
South Tangerang, Banten.

BNNP head Heru Febrianto confirmed the arrests but was reluctant to go into detail.
He said the BNN headquarters would explain the arrests to the public.

BNN spokesman Sr. Comr. Slamet Pribadi said on Tuesday that the three suspects,
identified only as SH, MT and SR, were arrested on Saturday.

“SH is a pilot, MT is a male flight attendance and SR is a female flight attendance,”

said BNN spokesman Sr. Comr. Slamet Pribadi.

Meanwhile, Lion Group president director Edward Sirait confirmed the arrests,
saying the Lion Air management would cooperate with the BNN.

Edward expressed concern that the airline's crew members were involved in a
crime. He said the airline had a policy against crew members consuming drugs.

“Urine tests are conducted before flights. We also cooperate with the BNN to
prevent drug abuse,” he said as reported by tribunnews.com. “If we suspect any
[drug taking], we fire them because they are responsible [for the safety] of many
people,” he added. (bbn).
