Cops nab 6 people, seize RM4.6 mil worth of marijuana, syabu in Kelantan

KOTA BARU – A hundred kilogrammes of syabu and 393kg of ganja, worth almost RM4.6 million, have been seized following the arrest of six people in three raids in Kelantan.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Razarudin Husain said the suspects comprised three men and three women aged between 27 and 50.

“In a raid on a house in Tanah Merah at 7.30pm yesterday, a team from the Tanah Merah district narcotics division arrested a man and a woman, aged 27 and 39 respectively.

“On checking, police found 100kg of syabu worth RM3.6 million,” he told a press conference at the Kelantan contingent police headquarters here today.

Also present were Kelantan police chief Datuk Shafien Mamat and state NCID chief Sheik Azhar Sheik Omar.

Razarudin said police also seized a Mercedes Benz and three motorcycles, all worth about RM53,000.

“We are trying to determine the supplier of the seized drugs. The two suspects have been remanded from today until May 1 for investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he added.

In two raids in Kota Baru on April 20, police nabbed two men and two men, aged between 31 and 50, on suspicion of attempting to smuggle in 393kg of ganja.

The ganja, worth RM982,500, originated from southern Thailand and was destined for the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia, he said.

He said all four suspects were found positive for methamphetamines and ketamine. – Bernama, April 25, 2021
