On September 25, police in Kedah, Malaysia discovered 72kg of cannabis worth approximately RM6 million hidden in the abandoned Toyota Wish following a crash on the southbound North-South Expressway near Kota Setar. The vehicle had collided with the rear of a Toyota Hilux four-wheel-drive vehicle, causing it to overturn. The suspect, a local with one prior conviction, fled the scene by crossing the road and possibly boarding a motorcycle.
The police, after inspecting the Toyota Wish, found four luggage bags containing 120 packets of cannabis, leading to the seizure. The total value of the drugs was estimated at nearly RM6 million. The Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) is now investigating the case under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, focusing on the suspect's suspected involvement in a drug syndicate from a neighboring country.
