A MAN was arrested with 100 bottles of drugs suspected to be heroin worth RM200,000 at an eatery in Kampung Gual Sitok, Pasir Mas, on Friday.

Acting Kelantan police chief Muhamad Zaki Harun said the suspect, 23, was arrested at 2.36pm when a police team spotted him behaving suspiciously at the eatery.

“The pills, worth RM20,000, found under the driver’s seat, were seized, along with RM650 in cash,” he added.

Both suspects have been remanded for seven days from the date they were arrested under section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – Bernama, July 24, 2022.
