State police chief Rohaimi Md Isa said the properties were sealed following the arrest of two suspected drug pushers and seizure of drugs believed to be cannabis weighing 541.18gm and syabu weighing 46.7gm on Dec 9, 2020.

“A financial investigation was conducted on the two suspects by the Terengganu narcotics criminal investigation department’s asset forfeiture division, but no seizure was made at the beginning of the case.

“Later, when asset tracing was conducted through banks and financial institutions, the suspects were found to own seven immovable properties, which were acquired through suspicious transactions,” he said in a statement last night.

The properties seized included 10 chalets occupying 9,105 sq metres at Batu Rakit in Kuala Nerus, estimated to be worth RM900,000.

The other properties are located in Kemaman, Dungun and Marang.

“We will continue to trace the assets of all drug traffickers and ensure the ill-gotten gains are forfeited,” Rohaimi said.
