Terengganu police seize RM6.3mil worth of meth
KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu police dismantled a drug distribution syndicate and seized 198.9 kg of methamphetamine worth RM6.3 million on July 28. State police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairuddin said the seizure was made through an integrated roadblock operation by the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division and Traffic Enforcement Division of the Kuala Terengganu district police headquarters in Sungai Ikan on the Kota Baru-Kuala Terengganu route at 5pm. He said the drugs were found in two cars, a Mercedes Benz and a Perodua Myvi, which the suspects had abandoned in front of residents' houses in Kampung Felda Belara after fleeing a roadblock. Police found that two cars had made sudden U-turns before fleeing towards Kota Baru. After a five-kilometre chase, police managed to find the abandoned vehicles in front of villagers' houses. "The results of the inspection found seven polystyrene boxes containing 188 packages filled with drugs which could be used by 995,550 people," he said at a press conference at the Terengganu police contingent headquarters here today. Mohd Khairi said initial investigations found that the drugs were brought in from Kelantan to be distributed to markets outside Terengganu, including the Klang Valley. According to him, the police have identified the owner of the Myvi car, but are still tracking down two suspects, including the drivers who are believed to be locals. Police have been unable to identify the owner of the Mercedes because its chassis had been damaged. "Members of the public with relevant information can contact the Terengganu police contingent hotline at 011-67351234," he also said. He added that the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Horrific year on Oahu's roads as ‘100 deadliest days of summer' begin
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Honolulu Police are urging drivers to be extra careful heading into summer. With school out and more cars on the road, we are officially in the '100 deadliest days of summer,' a period that spans from Memorial Day to Labor Day. HPD emphasizes driver safety as traffic deaths rise 'The thing that we've seen a higher number in recently is pedestrian fatalities and motorcycle riders. The motorcycle riders that we're seeing, a lot of them are speed related. Also, they're not wearing helmets. We all know that helmets save lives,' said Major James Slayter of HPD's Traffic Enforcement Division. HPD said this year, Oahu has already seen 30 traffic fatalities compared to 12 during this time in 2024. Eleven of those have been pedestrians and seven have been motorcyclists.'It's extremely sad,' Slayter said. 'We look at these as numbers. They're statistics, but these are people. Right? These are our community members, whether they're family, friends, coworkers.' Slayter said that speeding gives you less time to avoid hazards and hazardous drivers. 'You always wanna be predictable as a rider as well, not zoom in in and out of traffic,' he added. As for pedestrians, Slayter says that HPD has found that a lot of the victims have been walking in the roadway. Check out more news from around Hawaii 'We actually had one individual lying in the roadway, and we have a lot of them crossing outside of marked crosswalks or against the red signal. So, again, everybody wants to be predictable as a pedestrian as well.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
