SERDANG: A man was arrested on suspicion of trafficking various types of drugs estimated to be worth RM6.36 million at a factory in Seri Kembangan here, last Friday.

Serdang district police chief ACP A. A. Anbalagan said police confiscated MDMA weighing 123 kilogrammes (kg), syabu (0.5 kg), 18 bottles containing drug powder (301 grammes), ecstasy pills (21 gm), cannabis (13.8 gm) and three drug processing machines.

"The seized drugs are believed to be for the Klang Valley market," he told in a press conference at the Serdang district police headquarters here today.

During the raid, the police also seized RM10,000 in cash and two vehicles.

He said the suspect rented the premises under another company's name to mislead the authorities, adding that he was believed to have been distributing, processing drugs and acting as a runner since a year ago.

The suspect is on a seven-day remand until tomorrow for investigations under Section 39b of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
