POLICE seized two sacks of methamphetamine pills worth RM3.1 million at a house in Kg Chabang Empat, Tumpat last Friday.

Kelantan deputy police chief Abdullah Muhammad Piah said in the 9pm raid, a 46-year-old man was detained and police found 229 methamphetamine pills on the floor.

“Upon further inspection, two sacks containing packets of methamphetamine, numbering about 318,000 pills, were also discovered,” he said in a press conference today.
