TAWAU: Police arrested a foreign fisherman and seized over three kilogrammes of syabu worth approximately RM105,000 in Indrasabah on Friday (June 20).
The 30-year-old suspect, who tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine, is believed to have acted as a drug transporter attempting to smuggle the narcotics abroad.
