Police in Johor have seized a staggering RM8.49 million worth of drugs in two raids targeting a drug syndicate near Bandar Seri Alam. Ab Rahaman Arsad, the Johor Police chief, revealed that the operation on August 5th also resulted in the arrest of two local men aged 30 and 34. The first raid took place in Senibong Avenue, Masai, where the first suspect, aged 30, was found guarding a storage unit believed to have been rented out and used to store illegal substances prior to the bust.
Further investigation led to the seizure of 132,600 pills with a potency of 5; 53,000 ecstasy pills; 290 packets of powdered ecstasy; 13 packages of ketamine; and packets of powdered MDMA, according to a media briefing at IPK Johor. In a second raid in Taman Ehsan Jaya, a secondary suspect was arrested as a syndicate helper, but no drugs were found at the location.
The total weight of the seized drugs amounted to 96.76 kg, valued at RM8.49 million. Additionally, a Honda City, Toyota Vellfire, BMW, Proton Saga, motorcycle, and RM100,000 in cash were seized. Initial tests on the sewage showed both suspects were negative, but they had criminal records. The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, and the suspects are being held in custody since August 6th. Police are still searching for the syndicate's mastermind.
