Bau district police chief DSP Dr Daram Ruer said the suspect was arrested during 'Ops Tapis' conducted by personnel from Bau District Police Narcotics Crime Investigation Division.
'Upon inspecting a bedroom on the upper floor of the house, police found a zipped bag containing a transparent plastic packet filled with white crystal-like substances believed to be dangerous drugs,' he said in a statement.
