Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Tan Cheng San said police raided a unit at the condominium and arrested four men and a woman from China as well as six Vietnamese women, all aged between 18 and 54.

“Acting on complaints from members of the public and neighbours regarding suspicious activities at the house, we raided the premises at 12.30am,” he told reporters, adding that various drugs worth around RM6,700 were also discovered.

According to Tan, preliminary investigations found that the house was rented by a 44-year-old Chinese woman who claimed to work as an online trader and had been living here for 14 years. It is believed that she hosted the party.

He said all those arrested knew each other and had entered the country using valid travel documents.

“All of them are under remand for seven days to assist (with) investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he said, adding that the police did not rule out the possibility that the group was involved in other criminal activities such as scams and fraud.
