SUBANG, May 15 — A customer service officer at a shipping company is on remand for seven days until Friday (May 17) for alleged involvement in a drug trafficking syndicate in Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya since the beginning of this year.
Subang Jaya district police chief ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the 32-year-old man was arrested at Jalan USJ4/1 Subang Jaya at 11.20pm on Friday (May 10) after 210g of cannabis was found hidden in his bag.
"Following the arrest, the police conducted a raid on a house suspected to belong to his family in Petaling Jaya, where 35,762g of cannabis were found.
"The total value of the drug seized amounted to RM111,640. Also seized were a car, a motorcycle, and RM1,270," he said during a press conference at the Subang Jaya District Police Headquarters today.
Wan Azlan said the suspect was believed to have obtained the drug supplies from a neighbouring country before repackaging the drugs in small packets to be sold to customers for RM300 per 10g.
The suspect, who has no previous record, tested positive for marijuana.
"The case is investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988," he said.
Wan Azlan added that as of January 1 this year, 901 individuals had been arrested for drug-related offences involving the seizure of RM618,463 worth of drugs.
