TWO Form Three girls were among eight people detained by police for holding a private party at a SoHo unit in I-City, near Shah Alam, early this morning.

Shah Alam district police chief Baharudin Mat Taib said the arrest followed complaints by the public that a rented unit was having group activities.

“They comprised five men and three women, aged 15 and 23, with the two teenage girls still studying at a secondary school in Klang,” he said in a statement today.

“All of them were compounded RM4,000 each for failing to comply with the standard operating procedure (SOP) of the movement control order (MCO).”

All suspects were found to have no previous criminal records.  

Baharudin said screening tests showed seven of them were positive for drugs such as amphetamine, methamphetamine and benzo. 

“The Shah Alam magistrate’s court today allowed the seven people to be remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Code Procedure for three days and the case is being investigated under Section 15(1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act,” he said. – Bernama, June 21, 2021.
