Man shot dead in Seremban was drug syndicate head, say police
Bukit Aman narcotics CID director Hussein Omar Khan says the 52-year-old man had been involved in drug processing activities since the 1990s.
The man killed by police in Seremban's Garden Homes yesterday was the head of a drug trafficking operation, according to police. Hussein Omar Khan, the head of the narcotics division at Bukit Aman, revealed that the 52-year-old suspect had been processing drugs since the 1990s and had a history of criminal offenses, including kidnapping.
The syndicate he led was active since January and chose high-density residential areas to avoid detection. During a raid at around 1:30 pm, the suspect opened fire on police, who responded in kind. Police found drugs and drug-processing equipment valued at RM27.5 million at the scene, along with a revolver. Two other members of the syndicate were arrested in subsequent raids in Seremban and Kuala Lumpur.
The 32-year-old woman had a prior criminal record and was linked to six drug-related offenses, while the 34-year-old man had eight drug-related arrests. Both were remanded for seven days until September 13. The syndicate is currently under investigation for attempted murder and drug trafficking under specific sections of the Penal Code and Dangerous Drugs Act, 1952.
