PETALING JAYA: Police arrested three people and seized drugs worth nearly RM1.6 million in multiple raids across Penang on Monday and Tuesday.
Penang police chief Azizee Ismail said the suspects – two men and a woman aged 22 to 28 – were detained after several weeks of intelligence gathering.
“In the first raid at noon on Monday at a car park in George Town, police arrested a man and discovered 120 packets of MDMA weighing 3.024kg inside a vehicle.
“Police conducted a second raid at the same location, detaining a couple. A check on a motorcycle led to the discovery of 119 packets of MDMA powder weighing 2.213kg,” Bernama quoted him as saying today.
Azizee said interrogations led police to a third raid at a house in Seberang Perai Utara, where police seized 252 packets of MDMA powder (5.22kg), 18 packets of ketamine weighing 515g, and 70 Erimin 5 pills weighing 19g.
He said an initial investigation found that all three unemployed suspects acted as runners for the syndicate, believed to have been active since December, and that the drugs seized could have supplied up to 30,000 addicts.
Police also seized assets worth RM224,544, including three vehicles, jewellery and RM5,500 in cash.
All three suspects were remanded for seven days until March 16 to assist in the investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for drug trafficking.
