PETALING JAYA, Feb 29 — The police busted a syndicate distributing drugs using envelopes written as ‘Boarding Pass’ following the arrest of a local man at an exclusive studio in Sungei Way on Friday (February 23).
Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Shahrulnizam Ja’afar said the suspect, aged 26, was arrested at 10.40pm after police raided the rented luxury condominium and seized RM406,309 in various types of drugs at the premises.
Among the drugs seized were Ecstacy pills, two plastic packets containing Ketamin, 28 aluminium foils containing Erimin Five pills, 304 plastic packets containing Ecstasy powder, and some drug processing equipment.
“Also seized was RM320 cash and an Apple iPad worth RM2,500,” he told the press at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters today.
Shahrulnizam said the police believe the modus operandi of the suspect was to use envelopes printed ‘Boarding Pass’ to avoid being detected by the authorities.
The suspect, who tested positive for drugs, had been distributing drugs in the Klang Valley for the past two years. He would be remanded for six days, and the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Section 15(1) of the same Act.
He added the police are also looking for a 31-year-old suspect who is believed to have been staying in the same premises with the suspect.
