Police bust RM33.4mil cannabis distribution ring
They have also arrested 12 people believed to be drug mules.
Selangor police have dismantled a cannabis distribution ring, arresting 12 individuals in raids at KLIA and Sepang. The operation, which took place between August 28 and September 21, resulted in the seizure of cannabis buds worth RM33.4 million. The suspects, comprising a Malaysian man and a mix of foreign men and women, were allegedly promised job opportunities and tourism packages.
Upon arrival, they were instructed to bring back bags containing hidden drugs. The operation also led to the arrest of a local man, believed to be the runner responsible for supplying drugs to the mules. The syndicate has been active since early 2026. Police seized assets worth RM37,700, including two cars and foreign currencies.
Six suspects have been charged under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, while six others remain under investigation. None of the suspects have prior records in Malaysia, and their travel documents indicated they entered the country using social visit passes.
