SHAH ALAM: Two men carrying various drugs thought they could evade police detection by taking an early morning flight to Sibu, but their scheme failed when they were caught before they boarded their plane at KLIA2.

With the arrest of the 29-year-old local and 43-year-old Indonesian, and the seizure of RM1.76mil worth of drugs from the duo as well as at another location later, police believe they have busted a drug syndicate that targeted the Sarawak market.
