KULIM – Police arrested four people, including a woman, and seized RM3.67 million worth of drugs in three separate raids in Kedah and Penang on January 27.
Bukit Aman Narcotics CID director Datuk Razarudin Husain said all the suspects, aged between 32 and 33, were arrested in special operations conducted by the Bukit Aman and Kedah Narcotics CID.
“In the one-hour simultaneous raid beginning 10.45am, we successfully seized 11.18 kg of ecstasy, ketamine (17.8kg), erimin 5 (20.22kg), juice drinks (20.15kg) and psychoactive mushroom (410g).
“Police also confiscated RM488,400 worth of assets belonging to the syndicate including seven cars, a high-powered motorcycle and RM4,000 cash," he told a press conference at the Kulim police headquarters today.
He said the suspects, who had been active since the end of September, were believed to be involved in packaging drugs for private parties and general consumption for the Kedah and Penang markets.
Razarudin said the haul was enough to satisfy 198,036 customers.
“The arrest of all these suspects is a follow-up to the arrests made last July. We believe they are linked to a syndicate in Selangor,” he said.
The four suspects had been remanded for seven days to assist in the investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, he said. – Bernama, January 31, 2021
