The Royal Malaysia Police's Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) has dismantled a major drug processing syndicate in Seremban, Malaysia, with the main suspect fatally shot during the operation. The syndicate allegedly produced MDMA worth an estimated RM27.5 million in the district and Kuala Lumpur. NCID Director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed that the 52-year-old suspect, with extensive experience in drug-related activities, was killed after firing shots at the raiding team at a terraced house used as a drug laboratory.
Police seized large quantities of MDMA, drug lumps, pills, powder, and processing equipment during the raid. The suspect had previously been arrested three times under the Dangerous Drugs Act and was also wanted for kidnapping under another law. The syndicate typically targeted residential areas with low population density to process and distribute drugs.
Two more suspects, a 32-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, were arrested in separate raids and are being held for seven days. The operation, along with previous ones, is expected to impact drug distribution to over 400,000 users.
