JEMPOL: Police have arrested two suspects for having in their possession homemade air rifles and ball bearings at Felda Lui Selatan 2 near here.
Jempol deputy police chief Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor said one of the suspects also admitted that he had made the two air rifles himself.
"The suspects, who were Orang Asli, claimed the weapons were for hunting purposes.
"We also seized 40 ball bearings and syabu from the suspects aged 25 and 30," he said in a statement.
Mohd Hafiz said the suspects were detained by a police narcotics team in a hut at a rubber smallholding around 2pm on Tuesday (June 20).
He said police will apply for an order to remand the duo at the Bahau Magistrate's court on Wednesday (June 21).
