Sabah police have arrested a couple in Kudat, holding them responsible for seizing 44.3kg of marijuana and 5.6kg of hashish worth RM3.56 million, marking the first marijuana seizure in Sabah. The 35-year-old local man was arrested at around 4:40 PM in Tanjong Kapor village, while his 32-year-old Malaysian wife was apprehended about 10 minutes later near the village.

According to police sources, the couple's arrest was based on intelligence from Sabah's Anti-Crime and Protection Agency (AKPS). Both suspects were taken to Kudat IPD with four plastic bags containing marijuana and hashish, which tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine, while the husband had a history of drug-related offenses.

The wife tested negative for drugs and had no prior record. The couple was presented to Kudat Magistrate Court on August 28 and the case is being heard under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
