Police nab drug pusher, seize drugs worth almost RM1 mil in Pantai Remis

IPOH – Police nabbed a drug pusher and seized heroin and methamphetamine worth almost RM1 million in a raid on a house in Changkat Kruing, Pantai Remis near Manjung, last Monday.

Perak police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said during the 10pm raid, police also seized a motorcycle, believed used in distributing the drugs.

The amount of drugs seized from the 56-year-old man can be distributed to approximately 100,000 drug addicts in Manjung and nearby areas, he told a press conference after attending the Perak Police monthly assembly here today.

“The suspect, who is believed to have been active over the past six months, has been remanded for a week to facilitate further investigations,” he said, adding that the man also tested positive for drugs and has four previous records related to the illegal substance. – Bernama, July 20, 2022
