Bukit Aman smashed one of Kelantan’s biggest drug syndicate which allegedly received help from a rogue police officer based in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
Police believed the suspect had been providing information on impending police raids in the state.<\/p>\n
The corporal, who was based at a police station in Kuala Lumpur, was said to have been the ‘link man’ for the syndicate for about a year in its distribution of syabu, ecstasy pills and yaba.<\/p>\n
Also arrested were the policeman’s accomplices – two Thais and four locals – who were allegedly involved in distributing the drugs to Kuala Lumpur from the transit point in Kelantan.<\/p>\n
The corporal and two of his accomplices were picked up in Kuala Lumpur while the rest were nabbed in Kelantan last Thursday.<\/p>\n
The drugs recovered included 19.31kg of syabu, 6,969 yaba pills, 15 ecstasy pills and 1.73kg of ketamine worth about RM3mil.<\/p>\n
Bukit Aman Narcotics director Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said police also seized the syndicate’s assets, including luxury cars, valued over RM1mil.<\/p>\n
“We believe the syndicate had been running the drug distribution for about a year. The police surveillance began early this year.<\/p>\n
“We are investigating the corporal’s connection to the syndicate which smuggled drugs in vehicles from neighbouring countries, via the main entry points,” he told a press conference here.<\/p>\n
Police also seized seven vehicles and a motorcycle during the operations.<\/p>\n
The suspects were remanded for a week to facilitate investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which provides for the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.- source thestaronline<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
