TWO policemen were among those who tested positive for drugs following raids on entertainment outlets here, where 87 patrons were also found to have taken illicit substances, police said.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the operations were carried out on 5 April at two premises in Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh and Taman Ipoh.
“Checks at the second premises found that 87 patrons, aged between 19 and 52, tested positive for drugs,” he said, as reported by Sinar Harian.
He said a police officer and two policemen were among those screened during the operation, with two personnel returning positive results. The officer tested negative.
“The corporal tested positive for ketamine, while the other tested positive for methamphetamine, amphetamine and ketamine,” he said, adding that both policemen were attached to units in Johor, while the officer is based in Perak.
A total of 59 men and 28 women were detained to assist investigations under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
“This action shows we do not compromise on any offences, including those involving police personnel,” Hussein said. - April 19, 2026
