Kuantan boy reported missing found safe in relative's house
KUANTAN: A 13-year-old student who was reported missing on Sunday was found safe at his relative's house in Chukai, Terengganu.
Pahang police chief Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said police was informed by the family that the boy was seen at the house at about 7am yesterday.
'Police have conducted investigations and interviewed the boy's family members.
'We are conducting further investigations to find out how the student reached the location,' he told reporters after the Pahang police contingent monthly assembly.
On Sunday, Kuantan OCPD Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu was reported to have said the teenager was reported missing after leaving home without the family's knowledge.
It is believed that this was because he refused to return to his boarding school in Pekan.
Meanwhile, Comm Yahaya said the police seized various types of drugs worth more than RM84mil with 4,839 arrests in the first four months of this year.
He said this was a sharp increase compared to the same period last year, where RM8.2mil worth of seizures were recorded while the total number of arrests was 4,810.
'A total of 190 cases were brought to court from January to April this year compared to 220 cases for the same period, Bernama reported.
'The police also succeeded in busting four drug trafficking syndicates involving six arrests through Ops Indera,' Comm Yahaya said.
In addition, he said the Commercial Crime Investigation Department had opened 817 investigation papers involving losses worth RM26mil.
