Police seize 1,500 liquor bottles from warehouse in Bogor

Police seized about 1,500 bottles of liquor from a warehouse in Ciawi, Bogor, West Java.

The warehouse was in a building on Jalan Raya Jenderal Hoegeng, near the road to the Puncak area.

Police said the owner had no valid permit to distribute liquor; the permit they found had expired two years earlier.

Most of the seized liquor had more than 15% alcohol, according to the police.

Officers said they found the warehouse after noticing suspicious activity and tracing liquor sold at another location back to it.

Police linked liquor to public disturbances such as brawls and said the operation was routine.

The seized bottles will be taken to Bogor Police for destruction.
