KOTA BHARU: Two men and their mother have been detained in connection with the seizure of 35kg of compressed cannabis and a pistol in a raid at a house in Kampung But, Ketereh here on Tuesday (Aug 5).
Kelantan Police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the stepbrothers, aged 24 and 34, who work as assistants at their father's clinic, and the 46-year-old housewife were picked up at 4.30 am.
"Checks at the house found six boxes containing compressed blocks of dried plant material suspected to be cannabis and two bags containing the same drug, weighing 35 kg.
"Also seized was a Glock pistol with 16 bullets and a casing," he told a press conference at the Kelantan Police Contingent headquarters here on Sunday (Aug 10).
Mohd Yusoff said four vehicles were also confiscated, bringing the total estimated value of the seizures to RM420,000.
Mohd Yusoff said the syndicate was believed to have been active since 2023, using the house as a storage before distributing the drugs via courier services.
"The men tested positive for methamphetamine and ketamine while their mother tested negative," he said, adding that all suspects have been remanded for seven days starting Aug 6.
In a separate case, Mohd Yusoff said the General Operations Force (GOF) Battalion 7 seized a revolver, 30 live bullets and a casing from a Thai couple at a house in Pengkalan Kubor on July 25.
The married couple, aged 40 and 30, did not possess a valid firearms licence and had entered Malaysia illegally.
