SHAH ALAM, May 25 — The Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) has successfully dismantled an organised criminal syndicate known as ‘Geng RT’ following the arrest of 13 members.
The group was actively involved in drug processing and trafficking, as well as violent crimes, around the Klang Valley.
NCID director Hussein Omar Khan said in a statement that the crackdown followed intelligence operations initiated by the department in December 2025.
He said the NCID subsequently launched an operation on April 27, resulting in the arrest of 12 local men throughout the Klang Valley under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA).
The suspects have been remanded for 28 days and are scheduled to be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code for being members of an organised criminal group, which carries a jail sentence of not less than five years and up to 20 years upon conviction.
Another local male syndicate member was arrested under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, while police seized a total of 8.5kg of cannabis.
He was charged at the Ampang Magistrate’s Court on May 8 under the same provision, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment, along with not fewer than 12 strokes of the cane upon conviction.
Hussein said the individual would also face a separate charge under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code at a later date yet to be determined.
“The syndicate is believed to comprise members of illegal organisations and has been active in drug processing and trafficking activities since 2020, involving methamphetamine, heroin, cannabis and ephedrine.
“These organised criminal activities were carried out around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor,” he said.
He added that background checks confirmed 12 of the suspects had prior criminal and drug-related records.
Hussein said police were intensifying efforts to track down the remaining syndicate members believed to still be in the country.
The public has been urged to share any information through the NCID hotline at 012-2087222.
