PORT DICKSON – Forty-five suspected drug addicts, including a 70-year-old man, were nabbed in an anti-drug operation – dubbed Op Sarang – at an oil palm plantation in Pasir Panjang yesterday.
Port Dickson police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed said the four-hour operation, which began at 8am, was mounted following a tip-off about a drug nest often frequented by a large group of men in the area.
“During the operation, a packet containing 49.61g of drugs believed to be heroin, 0.65g of three short straw tubes of drugs also believed to be heroin, and 14 packets containing 11.55g of crystallised syabu were seized from the suspects,” he said in a statement today.
Aidi said urine tests done on all suspects, aged between 21 and 70, found them positive for methamphetamine and morphine.
The case is being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – Bernama, September 7, 2021
