KUALA TERENGGANU -Police have arrested four men and believe they have smashed a syndicate printing counterfeit money and trafficking drugs in the Besut area.<\/p>\n
The men, aged between 19 and 45, were picked up under the ‘Ops Cantas’ exercise by a team from the Terengganu police at about 8 pm Thursday, said Terengganu CID chief ACP K. Manoharan.<\/p>\n
He said the police, acting on information, tailed a 41-year-old man suspected to be involved in abduction cases to a chalet in Kampung Dalam Rhu, Cherang Ruku, Kelantan, where the man and the three others were detained.<\/p>\n
“The raid on the chalet also yielded 810 pieces of fake RM100 notes, two daggers and an imitation pistol. All the RM100 notes bore the same serial number – AA0007792,” he told a news conference.<\/p>\n
Various equipment used in printing the counterfeit money, such as printers, ink and laptop computers as well as three grams of ganja slab were also recovered, he said.<\/p>\n
“Initial investigation showed that the gang produced the fake money to use in its drug trafficking deals,” he said.<\/p>\n
Manoharan said the police received four reports in Besut and Setiu on transactions where the fake money had been used.<\/p>\n
He advised ‘pasar malam’ (night market) traders to lodge police reports if they came across money suspected to be counterfeit.<\/p>\n
The CID chief said the suspects had been remanded for seven days and the case had been handed over to the Kelantan police-BERNAMA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
