SG PETANI – Police arrested three men and seized 21 packets of compressed ganja weighing 21.9kg, believed to be worth about RM52,500, in a raid at a house in  Pinang Tunggal here last Thursday.

Kuala Muda district police chief Zaidy Che Hassan said the suspects, aged between 22 and 59, were arrested at 4.30pm.

He said a 33-year-old van driver, believed to be the mastermind and with four previous records for drug-related offences, was one of those arrested, while the other two suspects were his father and a cousin.

All three suspects have been in remand for six days since yesterday for investigation under Section 39B and 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – Bernama, September 3, 2022
