TWO local men and a foreign woman were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, for distribution around the Klang Valley.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said the suspects, aged between 18 and 43, were arrested in two Op Acacia raids conducted by Kuala Lumpur Narcotics CID.

He said the first raid on January 10 at a Taman Desa condominium led to the arrest of a man and a foreign woman, a couple, as well as the seizure of heroin and Erimin 5 pills worth RM117,000, a Mercedes Benz car, a gold ring and RM1,200 in cash.

“A second raid on the same day at Jalan Imbi car park saw another man arrested with syabu worth RM37,000 and a Toyota Camry car seized.

“The group, which has been active for the past two months, had turned the well-guarded condominium into a drug storage facility to deceive the authorities,” he said in a statement today.

Azmi said the drugs were obtained from a local dealer in Kuala Lumpur and the trio who have no permanent jobs have made drug trafficking as a source of income.

“The men have criminal and drug-related previous convictions, and tested positive for morphine and methamphetamine,” he said.

The suspects were remanded for seven days until Tuesday to assist investigations under section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. – Bernama, January 13, 2023.
