KUALA LUMPUR: A couple was arrested by police on suspicion of growing ganja plants in their rented condominium unit in Bangsar here on Thursday night (Nov 6).
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Hoo Chang Hook said they were arrested during a raid by the Kuala Lumpur Narcotics Crime Investigation Department on the condominium unit at about 11.30pm.
