Father and son caught processing ecstacy worth over RM1mil in Muar
MUAR: Police arrested a father-son duo and seized 6.38kg of ecstasy powder worth over RM1mil during a raid at a house in Bukit Treh last week.
Muar OCPD Asst Comm Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the 49-year-old man and his 23-year-old son were caught in the act of allegedly processing the ecstasy powder by grinding it before packaging it into drink sachets.
"The 4pm to 10pm raid led to the discovery of approximately 6,389g of ecstasy powder worth RM1.06mil, along with various tools used for processing and repackaging the drugs.
"We also seized a car worth RM13,000 and a motorcycle valued at RM7,000, both believed to have been used in the drug distribution activities.
"The total value of the drugs and seized vehicles amounts to RM1.08 million. Investigations revealed the suspects began engaging in these illegal activities in February this year," he said during a press conference at the Muar district police headquarters Wednesday (June 26).
Raiz added that both suspects have prior drug-related criminal records, with the father having previously served a prison sentence.
The case is being investigated under Sections 15(1)(a) and 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. - Bernama
