The Surabaya City Government continues to raid pacifiers which are indicated to contain drugs. The raid on candy packaged in green targeted three sub-districts, namely Genteng District, Rungkut District, and Sawahan District.

The Head of Sawahan, Surabaya City, Yunus said that the raids had been carried out on three schools.

“We raided SDN Pakis I, SDN Pakis II, and SDN Pakis IX on Jalan Pakistirtosari. The result is 20 pacifiers," said Yunus, Tuesday (7/3/2017).

The pacifier is suspected to contain drugs. Physically, the candy doesn't look like drugs, but rather like regular candy.

“These candies were sold by street vendors around the school, and they were immediately confiscated. We confiscated it and took it to the sub-district office,” said Yunus.

The officers who raided food and drinks at a number of elementary schools in Sawahan also found a number of hard candies. This candy is suspected to contain formaldehyde which is dangerous if consumed by children.

“For hard candy, there are 33 seeds and 17 packs of hard candy in tablet form. We also confiscated it,” said Yunus.
