A Malaysian man with a criminal history was apprehended in Brunei after authorities discovered 102.19kg of suspected methamphetamine concealed in tea packets at the Sungai Tujoh checkpoint, marking the largest drug bust recorded at the border. The 46-year-old suspect, originally from Miri, Sarawak, was detained on October 31st as he attempted to enter the country from Sarawak.
According to the Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) received intelligence from Brunei’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) regarding the arrest. The drugs were estimated to be worth around RM5 million. The suspect was reported to have been en route to Sabah via various Bruneian checkpoints before re-entering Sarawak.
The seized items also included four Erimin 5 pills, cash, mobile phones, and a vehicle. The NCID plans to collaborate with Brunei authorities to trace the origin of the drugs and investigate potential connections to Malaysian trafficking networks.
