POLICE successfully thwarted a drug trafficking syndicate by tracking their activities on the Telegram application, leading to the apprehension of four local men in the Glenmarie Industrial Park area on Sunday, said Shah Alam police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim.

The four suspects, aged between 31 and 32, were arrested during a raid conducted at a condominium unit in the mentioned area around 6:40pm.

Iqbal said that RM128,243 worth of seizure including 6,530gm of ganja-type drugs worth RM20,243, were seized by his team in the raid.

“Intelligence conducted found that this drug trafficking activity has been active for about a year around the Klang Valley, with its modus operandi involving delivering drug supplies to customers, believed to be for the local market, using couriers after receiving orders through the Telegram application.

“All suspects tested positive for drugs and have been remanded for seven days starting January 15 under section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he said during a press conference at the Shah Alam headquarters today. – Bernama, January 18, 2024.
