The five suspects – four men and a woman – were arrested by a team of police and forestry ministry officers in separate raids in two villages in Riau province’s Pelalawan district on Saturday after receiving a tip from villagers, said Eduward Hutapea, a local environment and forestry law enforcement chief, said on Sunday.
