KOTA BARU: Two of the six Malaysians arrested in Sungai Golok, Thailand, on Nov 1, have previous drug offences, says Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat.
"This case is still under investigation and we are leaving it to the Thai police,” he told reporters at the Kelantan police contingent headquarters here on Monday (Nov 4).
Mohd Yusoff said he could not comment further on the six individuals allegedly involved in drug trafficking, as the case involved laws of a neighbouring country.
"I cannot confirm whether (the drugs) were intended for personal use or distribution. However, their urine tests came back positive for methamphetamine,” he said.
When asked about two of the suspects who allegedly entered Thailand illegally, Mohd Yusoff said that the matter was not within police jurisdiction but under other agencies including the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the Malaysian Immigration Department.
The media had earlier reported that six Malaysians, including a dikir barat singer from Kelantan, were arrested at a hotel in Sungai Golok last Friday for alleged possession of 6,000 Yaba pills. - Bernama
