Tawau Police Chief ACP Jasmin Hussin said during the two raids, police seized Syabu worth RM130,000, while the seven suspects would be remanded for 14 days to assist investigations.
He said on March 20, police stopped a car with five passengers for inspection at a housing estate in Tawau town and upon inspection, found 103.40gm of Syabu. The five friends were aged between 30 and 59. “All five suspects who are unemployed were found positive for drugs while four of them collectively had 19 previous criminal records for drug related offences,” he told reporters here, Monday.
However, both did not have any previous criminal records,” he said. Jasmin said both syndicates were believed to have obtained their stock from the same source and the suspects would be investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. He added that police have also struck a cooperation with neighbouring countries to share information and intelligence on matters related to drug smuggling as part of efforts to bust drug trafficking.
