PADANG BESAR, Nov 11 — The General Operations Force (GOF) 3rd Battalion seized 50kgs of cannabis found in two white sacks in the Chuping area at 5.30am yesterday.
Padang Besar district police chief ACP Mohd Shokri Abdullah said a team of nine personnel was on patrol to monitor the Malaysia-Thailand border area when they stumbled on the find.
"The GOF team found the two sacks in question about 1 km from the Malaysia-Thailand border and observed the location for about two hours but found no activity (of the perpetrators)," he said during a press conference here today.
"The total value of the seizure is RM125,000 and the seized amount is enough for 100,000 users," Mohd Shokri said.
He added the modus operandi was to cut through the border fence to smuggle in drugs for the local market.
