Panicky pushers: Trio nabbed during anti-drug sweep in Kota Belud
KOTA KINABALU: Three men in Kota Belud fled in a panic when they spotted a police team, only to be caught and exposed as suspected drug dealers. The suspects, aged 40 to 45, were in the Kampung Kelawat area when police mounted an anti-drug operation, Ops Tapis Narkotik, on Thursday (June 26). Kota Belud OCPD Supt Shahrudin Mat Husain said police caught up with the suspects after a chase and found drugs, believed to be syabu meant for distribution in the area, in their possession. They were brought to the police station for questioning and also tested positive for methamphetamine, he added. He said the suspects will be remanded before being charged in court soon. Supt Shahrudin said police will continue conducting raids against drug and ketum abuse in the district. In another operation in Tawau, police detained a man with drugs in his possession following inspections at the Sabindo Bus Terminal on Wednesday (June 25) evening. Tawau OCPD Asst Comm Jasmin Hussin said the arrest was made at 4.15pm by a team from the district Narcotics Crime Investigation Division. 'There was a small plastic bag filled with what we believe is syabu, weighing around 5.60g and valued at RM300, on the suspect,' he said. The suspect tested negative for drugs, and police believe he is part of a network in the district, he added. ACP Jasmin urged the community to help fight crime in the district by providing the police with information on any suspicious activities.
