He said police seized 1.03kg of methamphetamine, 230g of Eramin 5 pills, 192g of ecstasy pills, as well as a Toyota sedan and RM400 in cash.

“Police interrogation of the male suspect led to the arrest of another two male suspects, aged 20, on Saturday at around 7.45pm on Jalan Indah Seri Kembangan. Cash amounting to RM106,166 was also seized.

“On the same day, police were led to a residence in Seri Kembangan and discovered multiple types of drugs stored in the premises,” he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters today.
