A local man and a foreign woman were detained, Bernama reported.

Bukit Aman narcotics crime investigation department director Khaw Kok Chin said the couple were arrested with three plastic packets of syabu, weighing 83.15g.

Following investigations, police went to a house in Sungai Air Tawar, where 91 plastic packets of syabu, weighing 94.96kg, were discovered in the boot of a car there.

Khaw said police believed the couple, active for the past three months acted as transporters and storekeepers. They tested positive for methamphetamine.

They obtained the drug from the north of the country and sent them to Indonesia by sea, with a payment of RM140,000 per shipment.

Khaw said the male suspect, who is married and worked as a mechanic, had two previous convictions for criminal cases and five prior drug-related offences.

The two have been remanded for six days until Nov 27 and the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Khaw said they are working closely with the Indonesian police to prevent drug smuggling and will be meeting them at the end of this month to enhance cooperation.
