KUALA LUMPUR – An Indonesian man suspected of being the mastermind of a drug trafficking syndicate was arrested, along with five locals, in a raid on a condominium in Jalan Ampang here last Friday.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid said the raid resulted in the seizure of 10 kg of syabu estimated to be worth RM341,000 and three vehicles, comprising a Toyota Alphard, a Toyota Vios, and a Perodua Alza. 

Preliminary investigations found that the syndicate had been active for the past two months in the federal capital and the five local suspects, comprising four men and a woman, had previous records for drug and criminal cases, with three of them on the police wanted list, he said in a statement today.

He said all the suspects, including the Indonesian man, aged between 26 and 46, tested positive for methamphetamine and are on remand for seven days until November 24 for investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – November 21, 2023
