Authorities recovered 53 prohibited items, including 22 lighters, 10 metal razors, six makeshift electrical outlets, six glass objects, three cutters, knives, cables, rope, a makeshift heating tool, and earphones. Tristiantoro Adi Wibowo, Head of Rutan Kelas I Surabaya, stated the raid aims to strengthen security and detect potential disturbances early.
