KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — Police raided a condominium in Johor Bahru this afternoon and arrested a Singaporean man known as ‘Boy Setan’, who is the prime suspect in a case of smuggling drugs into the republic using a drone.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director Datuk Ramli Din said the suspect, 40, was arrested by a team of officers and personnel from the Johor contingent NCID based on information and intelligence conducted.
“The Johor NCID is continuing investigations and a remand order will be made in the near future,” he said when contacted by Bernama.
Yesterday, Johor Police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the man, whose real name is Mohamad Azli Ahmad Said, was also wanted by Singaporean authorities for drug offences.
According to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), flight data taken from one of the suspects’ telephone showed that the drone was flown from Kranji, Singapore to Johor Baru and back to Kranji again.
Based on that information, Singapore police also arrested a 24-year-old woman and a 40-year-man for further investigations.
