KUALA LUMPUR: Police busted a syndicate attempting to transport RM2mil worth of syabu using 'Segway'.

STING personnel seized 10.2kg worth of syabu and arrested two men from Nigeria and Republic De Guinea on Nov 23.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the syndicate used the Smart Balance Wheel or Segway to hide the drugs.

"They thought they were smart to use the equipment but clearly they are not.

"The raids were conducted around Kajang," he told a press conference in Bukit Aman Thursday.

He added that the Nigerian man was on a student visa while the other suspect was in the process of obtaining one.

"The drugs were smuggled from China meant for the local market," he said.
