SEPANG: Four suspected drug traffickers, who were best friends, were busted following raids in the district.
Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Norhizam Bahaman said the suspects - three men and a woman - aged between 27 and 39, were detained on Wednesday (June 18).
"We seized various drugs worth RM36,500.
"All suspects were from the same village, and they have been friends since they were little," he told a press conference at the district police headquarters on Friday (June 20).
The drug trafficking outfit has been active since 2016, he added.
"We believe these suspects were transporters for the syndicate. They are paid RM1,600 for each successful transport of drugs," he said.
ACP Norhizam said the group managed to evade the police previously as they used rented cars to deliver the contraband and stayed in different budget hotels while en route to their destinations.
"The male suspects tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, while the female suspect tested negative.
"Two of the suspects had criminal records," he said.
