KUALA LUMPUR: Police have seized over half a million ringgit worth of heroin following the arrest of a man in Kampung Kubu Gajah Dalam, Sungai Buloh.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim said the operation was carried out at around 5pm on Tuesday (Nov 22).
"The 34-year-old suspect was driving when he was caught near a house there.
"Checks of the car he was driving revealed three boxes containing 90 packets of heroin weighing 41kg in total," he said in a statement on Friday (Nov 25).
