POLICE arrested two welders and seized 208kg of methamphetamine in a raid at a steel warehouse in Seksyen 25 Sri Muda Shah Alam yesterday.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Allaudeen Abdul Majid said the drug seizure, valued at RM7 million, was the biggest for the contingent this year.

“Police raided the warehouse in Sri Muda and detained two local men, 42 and 50, and found 200 packs of Chinese tea filled with methamphetamine that was intended to be hidden in the legs of the steel table.

“Preliminary investigations found the two individuals had turned the warehouse into a transit point for them to hide the drugs in modified steel legs for tables before being sent to other locations,” he said in a media conference at the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters today.

Police also seized RM10,700 in cash, RM10,600 in baht currency, RM17,000 worth of jewellery and a Toyota Vios worth RM30,000.

Alaudeen said both suspects have been remanded till October 26 and the case is being investigated under section 39(B) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. 

Police are tracking down the mastermind. – Bernama, October 20, 2023.
