KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly RM5mil in drugs were seized after police dismantled a drug distribution ring with the arrest of three syndicate members.
Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said that the arrests were made on July 24 after two raids were conducted in the Klang Valley.
The first saw the arrest of a syndicate member at a car park in a shopping mall in Kuchai Lama.
“Inspections of the suspect’s vehicle led to the discovery of a bag containing around 10.34kg of suspected syabu.
“At the same time, a second raid in the same area led to the arrest of two other suspects, including an Indonesian man,” he said at a press conference on Monday (July 28).
In total three men aged between 32 and 61 years old were arrested.
Follow-up investigations led to a raid at a terrace house within a gated community in Seri Kembangan, where 122 packages of suspected syabu weighing 135.34kg were seized.
In total, the seized drugs were estimated to be worth around RM4.66mil.
“Of course, we will also call in the house owner for statements as this is part of the investigation process,” he said.
It is believed that the group was distributing the drugs within the Klang Valley and overseas to Indonesia.
Investigations are underway to identify and locate additional members of the syndicate.
