Couple held with 46kg of marijuana
KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested a husband and wife after they found 48 slabs of marijuana worth about RM104,000 during a raid at 5th Mile, Jalan Ipoh here, early yesterday.
Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Amar Singh Ishar Singh said following a public tip-off, a police team detained the couple, aged 31 and 22, about 1am when they were in a Perodua Myvi along with their one-year-old infant near their house in Jalan Ipoh.
“Also seized was a bunch of keys, including a Proton Perdana key, which was found in a sling bag of the car (Perodua Myvi).
“The suspects then led police to a car park where the Proton Perdana was parked, and found the drugs weighing about 46kg in two backpacks in the car boot,” he told a press conference here, today.
Amar Singh said further investigations had led to another raid at the suspects’ house in the area.
“Upon checks at the house, police found 10 plastic packets believed to be heroin and syabu, weighing about 486gm.
“Also seized in the raid were cash and other belongings of the suspects, including the Perodua Myvi worth RM58,550,” he said.
He said the suspects were believed to have obtained the drugs supply from Thailand to be distributed for the Klang Valley market.
Checks on the couple revealed that only the husband tested positive for methamphetamine.
The suspects were being remanded for six days from today to facilitate investigations under Section 39B of Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
