An addict in the bush is worth waiting for


KOTA KINABALU: A suspected syabu addict’s attempt to avoid arrest by hiding in swamp bushes for three hours proved to be futile when he was eventually nabbed by the police.

This happened during a five-hour predawn anti-crime operation codenamed Ops Sarang Bersepadu at the Kampung Lembaga Padi squatter area in Inanam, which also involved the police air wing, marine police and General Operations Force.
