KUALA LUMPUR: Multiple raids in the city resulted in the arrest of nine suspects and the seizure of approximately RM1.48mil worth of drugs.
The raids took place on Aug 22, resulting in the arrest of eight locals and a Thai woman aged 24 to 34.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus, in a press conference on Thursday (Aug 28) at the contingent police headquarters, said that the drugs seized were packaged inside liquid vape cartridges.
"It is not easy to determine whether the vapes observed are laced with drugs. We have seen that the distribution reaches all sections of the community, including schoolchildren.
"The group's modus operandi involved using condominiums to store and process the drugs. Runners will be employed to distribute the drugs throughout the Klang Valley.
"It is believed that the syndicate has been active since the end of 2024," he said.
He added that multiple sports cars were also part of the seizures.
Comm Fadil also confirmed that a large-scale operation was conducted in Bangsar South on Wednesday night (Aug 27).
While he did not share further details, he confirmed that it was an anti-scam operation and that arrests had been made.
