KAJANG: Police seized 39 kilogrammes of methamphetamine or syabu worth RM1.4 million and arrested three local men and a Ukrainian man in a raid at a parking lot at Batu 11, Cheras, on May 24.
Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department chief, ACP Ahmad Jefferi Abdullah said in the 6 pm raid, the police also seized a Mercedes Benz, Toyota Vios and Perodua Bezza cars.
He said that the syndicate is believed to have been active for the past six months and supplies the drugs to other distributors to be marketed around the Klang Valley.
"During the raid, the Ukrainian man was lifting a box containing 39 transparent packs of drugs out of the Perodua Bezza car with the three local men," he said in a press conference at the Kajang district police headquarters here today.
Ahmad Jefferi said police also seized cash - RM20,380 in Malaysian ringgit and 35,000 in Thai baht - as well as 11 pieces of jewellery from the suspects.
"The total value of the seizure in the raid was about RM1.79 million," he said.
He said the police were in the process of tracking down the remaining members of the syndicate, including the syndicate leader, still at large, and where the supply of these drugs was obtained.
He added that two suspects tested positive for drugs and had previous criminal records involving drugs and murder cases.
He said the suspects, aged 30 to 44, were remanded until tomorrow and the case was being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which carries a mandatory death sentence.
