GUA MUSANG: A man sought by police for various offences since 2003 has been arrested in Kampung Kubang Endang, Bechah Keranji near Melor in Kota Baru.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Shafien Mamat said the 38-year-old car repossessor was detained near his vehicle at 9.30am on Monday (Jan 31) with a Zaroki semi-automatic pistol and two magazines containing 10 rounds.
"Further inspection of the car found two samurai swords and two litres of liquid believed to be drugs. Police found the pistol and two magazines in the front pocket of his trousers.
"A raid was also carried out on the suspect’s house about 200m from the scene of his arrest, where we seized 10,000 pills worth RM30,000 and cash amounting to RM54,000, believed to be the proceeds from selling drugs," he told a press conference at Gua Musang district police headquarters here on Wednesday (Feb 2).
Shafien said in 2003, the suspect escaped from a police roadblock in Gua Musang, leaving his identity card behind.
He added that the suspect, who tested positive for methamphetamine, has been remanded for a week starting Tuesday (Feb 1).
The case is being investigated under Section 8(a) of the Arms Act 1960 and Section 8 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971. – Bernama
