Police arrested three men and seized drugs, believed to be methamphetamine worth about RM400,000, at a parking area of a hypermarket in Bercham, Ipoh, yesterday.
The arrest of the suspects, all locals aged 40, 58 and 61, was made by the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division of the Ipoh District police headquarters in a special operation mounted at the parking area of the hypermarket at about 2.20pm.
Perak police chief Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the drugs, weighing 10.4 kilogrammes and packed in 10 plastic packages, were found in a sack in a vehicle in which one of the suspects was sitting in.
"The amount of drug seized can be used by about 20,000 people, and initial investigation found that the suspect obtained the drug supply from a foreigner in the northern region of the country,” he said in a statement today.
Mohd Yusri said the police also seized a vehicle and cash of RM2,200.
One of the suspects, aged 58, tested positive for methamphetamine test, and all three suspects would be on remand to facilitate police investigation under sections 39B and 15(1)(A) of the Dangerous Drugs Act, he added.
