In the operation, about 1,800 personnel from Polda Metro Jaya, Bareskrim Polri, BNN, and Brimob were deployed, while 27 suspected drug users were detained. Officers began sweeping the area at around 05:30 WIB by using the KRL from Tanjung Priok Station so they could enter Kampung Bahari and Kampung Muara Bahari directly.
