In mid‑July 2026 police acted on a public tip received on 15 July about a locked room at the Pondok Pinang private‑school foundation in South Jakarta’s Kebayoran Lama district. The raid uncovered 995 air‑soft weapons – 776 revolvers, 215 pistols, several rifles and four additional rifles – plus a single firearm, cannabis, methamphetamine and about 30 pornographic VCDs. Supplier PT Lokta Karya Perbakin says the air‑soft items are licensed spare parts under permit SI/5483‑XII/2008 and were intended for an extracurricular shooting program that began in 2020/2021 and ceased after the death of Jenderal Suryo in 2024. The school’s legal counsel denies any shooting club ever existed. An internal dispute over control of the foundation, which started in April 2026, limited access to the storage area.

Governor Pramono Anung demanded strict legal action; a DPR member called for a thorough investigation. Police filed a Model A report and seized the items through Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan, noting that the air‑soft guns are largely non‑functional spare parts and the lone firearm was found without ammunition. Authorities have asked that the school be sterilised and continue to examine the origins of the weapons and narcotics.

A second police entry on 7 August verified the cache in an underground bunker‑like room; classes continued under heightened security while the seized items were moved to the Polda Metro Jaya evidence room and narcotics evidence forwarded to the narcotics unit. The former chairman is implicated, but current management disputes ownership amid the governance conflict. The investigation and related civil dispute remain before the Central Jakarta District Court, and officials are still examining the still‑locked bunker for additional contraband.
