Kedah cops bust major ring, seize cannabis worth RM2.4mil
Kedah police chief Adzli Abu Shah (right) said the syndicate was believed to have been actively operating since last month. PETALING JAYA : Kedah police crippled a cannabis distribution syndicate with the arrest of five suspects, including a married couple, and the recovery of 66.4kg of the drugs worth an estimated RM2.4 million in an operation last Sunday. Kedah police chief Adzli Abu Shah said the operation initially resulted in the arrest of three men aged between 24 and 26, Bernama reported. 'The arrests, including that of the 26-year-old main suspect, were made at 1.30pm near the Kuala Muda police headquarters. A total of 64.6kg of cannabis flowers packed in five suitcases and stored in a vehicle were seized. 'This led to another raid at 8.30pm at a house in a nearby residential area, where approximately 1.8kg of cannabis flowers were discovered,' he was quoted as saying. Adzli said the group was believed to have been operating since last month. 'Their modus operandi was to use local residents to travel to a neighbouring country to collect the supply and bring it back here using cars. 'The cars used are handed over to the syndicates on the other side, and within two to three hours, the drugs are loaded into hidden compartments in door panels or in the boot before the cars are returned,' he said. Adzli said two women, aged 24 and 25, including the wife of the main suspect, were also arrested to assist in the investigation. All the suspects are Malaysians. He said further investigations revealed that the syndicate members entered the country through Bukit Kayu Hitam and exited through Padang Besar, Perlis. 'Two of the suspects tested positive for heroin and cannabis. All the suspects have been remanded for a week from the date of arrest until Aug 11 to assist in the investigations,' he said.

Police arrest five, seize RM2.4mil worth of high-grade cannabis buds
SUNGAI PETANI: Police crippled a cross-border drug syndicate operated by a group of locals, seizing about 66.4kg of high-grade cannabis buds worth approximately RM2.4 million on Sunday. The syndicate, believed to have been active since last month, was dismantled in a series of raids which led to the arrest of five people, including the alleged mastermind and his wife, both aged 26. Kedah police chief Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah said the group had been smuggling the drugs from Thailand using modified vehicles, concealing the contraband in door panels and bonnets. "In the first raid around 1.30pm, police arrested three men and seized about 64kg of cannabis buds at a location in Sungai Petani. "A follow-up operation at 8.30pm the same day led to the arrest of two women, including the mastermind's wife and seizure of an additional 2kg of the cannabis buds inside a freezer at a house nearby, bringing the total to about 66.4kg," he told reporters at the Kuala Muda police headquarters. Police also seized two vehicles used in the smuggling runs. Adzli said the syndicate had been employing a two-tier delivery method, initially entering Thailand via the Bukit Kayu Hitam border to collect the drugs, then re-entering Malaysia through Padang Besar in Perlis. The drugs were later transported south in luggage bags. "The runners were paid RM10,000 for cross-border transportation and RM2,000 for domestic delivery," he added. Investigations found that the mastermind is also an unlicensed moneylender, and had roped in acquaintances, including a 25-year-old security guard, to act as couriers. All five suspects, aged between 24 and 26, have been remanded for six days since the arrest. "Two of the male suspects tested positive for drugs and have prior records, including for drug-related offences," said Adzli. The case is being investigated under Sections 39B and 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, for trafficking and self administration of drugs, respectively. Under the first section, those found guilty are liable to a death sentence or life imprisonment with caning, while the second section sets punishment at a fine not exceeding RM5,000 or imprisonment of up to two years. Adzli said the cannabis buds seized were of much higher quality than in previous cases. "One kilogramme of this batch is valued at RM35,000, significantly more than the 90kg of lower-grade cannabis seized last month, which was worth under RM300,000 in total," he added.
