Family members who shelter drug addicts among reasons for rise in violent crimes, says the police


KUALA LUMPUR: Parents or family members who hide drug abuse cases involving their loved ones are among the factors that contribute to addicts being involved in violent crimes, says Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.

The Bukit Aman Narcotic Crimes Investigation Department (NCID) director said due to this, the authorities, especially the police, were not able to take early measures to curb drug addiction.
