PETALING JAYA:
Police have seized drugs worth RM4.16 million and arrested three men in a series of raids in the Klang Valley and Melaka.

Bukit Aman narcotics crime investigation department (NCID) director Hussein Omar Khan said the suspects, aged between 25 and 45 years, were nabbed on Aug 13.

In the first raid at a condominium in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, a Malaysian and a Pakistani man were detained after police found 26.73kg of cannabis on them and in their car.

A subsequent search of a storage unit uncovered more drugs, including cannabis flowers, ketamine and syabu.

In Melaka, three local suspects were arrested in Ayer Molek, where a search led to the discovery of 18.25kg of heroin base along with other substances in a car.

In total, police seized 94.84kg of cannabis, 42.23kg of ketamine, 18.25kg of heroin base, 2.58kg of marijuana flowers, 810g of Erimin 5 pills and 143g of syabu.

Two Toyota Estimas and a Perodua Myvi, worth about RM230,000, were also confiscated. Hussein said the drugs could have supplied an estimated 2.8 million users.

One suspect tested positive for cannabis, while two others had prior criminal and drug records, he said.

All three have been remanded for seven days from Aug 14 under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
