Bogor, W Java (ANTARA) - Over the past two years, East Aceh district of Aceh province has been battling a growing problem of drug trafficking, which is evident from the frequent raids conducted by law enforcement agencies in the area.
 
Geographically, East Aceh, whose administrative area extends over 6,040 square kilometers, shares a sea border with the Strait of Malacca.
 
Due to this geographical proximity to an important shipping lane, located between the Indonesian island of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula of East Aceh, the district remains vulnerable to drug smuggling, with cross-border drug rings often involving local residents in their operations.
