The Directorate of Narcotics Crime (Dittipidnarkoba) of Bareskrim Polri is currently hunting for Frendry Dona, similarly known as Fhoku, the alleged mastermind behind a clandestine vape laboratory producing etomidate-laced products in East Jakarta. Frendry has been officially placed on the wanted list (DPO) following a series of raids that uncovered a sophisticated distribution network.
The Manhunt for Frendry Dona
According to Brigjen Eko Hadi Santoso, Director of Narcotics Crime at Bareskrim Polri, Frendry Dona acted as the controller of the clandestine etomidate lab. His status as a fugitive was formalized in document DPO/57/IV/2026/Dittipidnarkoba, dated April 16, 2026, and signed by Kombes Handik Zusen.
Authorities have released a physical description to aid in his capture. Frendry is 38 years traditional, stands 165 cm tall, and weighs 60 kilograms. He is described as having straight black hair, narrow eyes, a pointed nose, and relatively thin lips.
From Vigilant Driver to Controlled Delivery
The operation began when police performed an X-ray on the suspicious package, confirming it contained narcotics. The package contained 13 black cartridges with a “MAFIA” logo suspected to contain etomidate, along with a clear package suspected to be methamphetamine (sabu).
A joint team led by Kombes Handik Zusen and Kombes Kevin Leleury of the NIC Task Force conducted a “control delivery” operation, with officers disguising themselves as online taxi drivers. This led them to Danau Cavalio in Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta, where they intercepted a courier.
The investigation eventually led to the arrest of Ananda Wiratama at a residence on Jalan Kayu Manis, Matraman, East Jakarta, in the early hours of April 14. Ananda confessed to sending etomidate vape packages 37 times under the orders of Frendry Dona.
Inside the Pulogadung Clandestine Lab
Following the arrest of Ananda, police raided an apartment in Pulogadung, East Jakarta. While Frendry was not present during the raid, officers discovered a significant stockpile of equipment and branded products.
Evidence seized from the apartment included 0.7 grams of methamphetamine, digital scales, and two pressing tools. Police also found a large quantity of vapes under various brands, including 117 “Mafia” packs, 88 “Yakuza” packs, 19 “Three” packs, and one “Supreme” pack, along with dozens of empty cartridges from the “Mafia” and “Stone Island” brands.
At Ananda Wiratama’s residence, the seizure was even more substantial, including 163.03 grams of methamphetamine, 60.44 grams of marijuana, and 21 etomidate cartridges.
Potential Next Steps
With the production site dismantled and a key courier in custody, police are likely to intensify the search for Frendry Dona using the published DPO details. Investigators may also examine the financial trails of the “Mafia” and “Yakuza” branded products to identify other potential distributors or buyers within the network.
