PETALING JAYA: Drugs that were intended for the European market were seized after Bukit Aman arrested two suspected drug pushers.
Narcotics Crime Investigation Department acting director Deputy Comm Mat Zani @ Mohd Salahuddin Che Ali said an operation on April 23 led to the arrest of two suspects, a local and a Chinese national, aged 34 and 38.
The first arrest was made at a restaurant in Sepang at around 5.25am while the second suspect was picked up at Kota Warisan at around 6.15am.
“We also raided a rented house in Bukit Changgang, Banting, where 144 packages, believed to be marijuana, weighing 75.51kg were found.
“The estimated value of the seized drugs was around RM2.64mil, which could have been used by 151,000 drug addicts,” he said in a statement.
DCP Mat Zani said investigations showed both suspects were exporting the drugs to Europe with the syndicate being active since early this year.
“The house, a homestay unit, was used as a storehouse at a rental cost of RM180 per month.
“Both tested negative for drugs,” the acting director said, adding that background checks showed both had no prior criminal records.
