KUALA KANGSAR – A 28-year-old actor is among three people arrested on suspicion of drug abuse in a raid on a house here yesterday.
District police chief Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob said a drama and film director, as well as an assistant, aged 49 and 47, respectively, are the other two suspects.
He said the trio were arrested by a team from the Criminal Investigation Department of the district police headquarters at 7.15am.
