POLICE have seized 39kg of methamphetamine or syabu worth RM1.4 million and arrested three local men and a Ukrainian in a raid at a parking lot in Batu 11, Cheras, on May 24.

Selangor Narcotics CID chief Ahmad Jefferi Abdullah said in the 6pm raid the police also seized Mercedes Benz, Toyota Vios and Perodua Bezza cars.

He said that the gang is believed to have been active for the past six months and supplies the drugs to other distributors to be marketed around the Klang Valley.

“During the raid, the Ukrainian man was lifting a box containing 39 transparent packs of drugs out of the Perodua Bezza car, in which the three local men were seated,” he said in a press conference at Kajang district police headquarters today.

Jefferi said police also seized cash – RM20,380 and THB35,000 – as well as 11 pieces of jewellery from the suspects.

“The total value of the seizure in the raid was about RM1.79 million,” he said.

He said the police were hunting for the remainder of the gang and trying to ascertain from where the drugs had come.

He added that two suspects tested positive for drugs and had previous convictions for drugs and murder.

He said the suspects, aged 30 to 44, were remanded until tomorrow and the case was being investigated under section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – Bernama, May 30, 2022.
