Negeri Sembilan police chief Ahmad Dzaffir Yussof said the seized drugs included 335.5g of ketamine, 2kg of heroin, 12kg of methamphetamine, 8kg of ecstasy powder, 125,258 ecstasy pills, 39,242 Erimin 5 pills and 15kg of cannabis, which could cater to 442,548 drug users.
He said a vehicle, cash and jewellery worth a combined total of RM253,413 were also confiscated under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988.
“This success was the result of information and intelligence gathered over the past three months at separate locations in the light industrial area of Jalan Tun Dr Ismail, Seremban, and three houses used as homestays around Taman Sri Rahang, Taman Bidara and Taman Bukit Kaya.
“In the raid in the light industrial area, we managed to arrest a 52-year-old local man and seize various drugs worth RM239,130,” Bernama quoted him as saying at the Negeri Sembilan police headquarters.
Dzaffir said interrogation of the suspect, believed to be a caretaker for the syndicate and who acted as a lookout, led to the discovery of three homestays used to store the drugs.
He said a raid on a house in Taman Sri Rahang found various drugs worth RM38,670,280, while another raid in Taman Bidara resulted in the seizure of a pill press.
“In the raid on the fourth location in Taman Bukit Kaya, we found 96 plastic barrels containing powdered and liquid chemicals for processing drugs and six sacks of powdered chemicals,” he said.
Dzaffir said the syndicate began operations a year ago, targeting the Klang Valley and the southern region.
He said the suspect had been remanded for seven days from March 14 to 20 and the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for drug trafficking. - FMT
