Two Malaysians held in Thailand with 1,560 Epam tablets
SUNGAI GOLOK: Two Malaysians were arrested by Thai police after they were allegedly found in possession of 1,560 Epam tablets in Sungai Golok last night.
Two Malaysians were apprehended in Thailand after authorities discovered 1,560 Epam tablets in Sungai Golok, according to police reports. The suspects, aged 24 and 30, were taken into custody last night around 10:30 PM near Ban Boss Restaurant. The arrests were made by officers from the Sungai Golok police station's Rapid Response Unit and Wihok Network Unit, who responded to a tip-off about the suspected illicit activity.
The search revealed the tablets, packed in 39 blister packs containing 40 tablets each, with an estimated value of 10,608 baht (approximately RM862). The two men are now under investigation for alleged possession of a Category 2 psychotropic substance, Epam, intended for unauthorized sale. Additionally, they face charges for entering Thailand without proper authorization.
The suspects are said to have crossed into the Sungai Golok area via an unauthorized ferry crossing along the Kelantan-Thailand border in Rantau Panjang. They have since been handed over to investigators at the Sungai Golok police station for further proceedings.
