KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Malaysian authorities said yesterday, they had seized 528 kg of drugs worth 19 million ringgit (4.06 million U.S. dollars) hidden in a forest reserve in Perlis state, near the border with Thailand.
Four suspects had been arrested in connection with the case, with four vehicles and seven motorcycles seized as well, Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) director, Mohd Kamarudin Md Din said.
“The modus operandi used by these suspects, who are familiar with each other, is believed to be ‘rat trails’ in the federal reserve forest. We believe they would gradually collect these packages there before distributing them elsewhere,” he explained.
He said, it is believed that the suspects have been involved in this activity since last year.
