JOHOR BARU: Police have busted a local drug-trafficking syndicate with the arrest of a 31-year-old man who used to work as a chef in Singapore. Acting on a tip-off, a state narcotics unit raided a house in Taman Desa Tebrau at about 11.30pm on Jan 7 and nabbed the man. The team seized drugs, including 3.3kg of heroin with a street value of more than RM500,000. Johor deputy narcotics chief Supt Giam Kar Hoon said the suspect had been operating for more than five months.
"We believe he supplied the drugs in the city, including to entertainment outlets. "We are also not ruling out the possibility that the syndicate' s mastermind is a Singaporean," he said at a press conference here yesterday. Supt Giam added that police are expected to arrest more syndicate members in the next few weeks.
"The suspect tested positive for syabu and was arrested for drug-related offences in 2004. He has been remanded to weed out more syndicate members," he said.
Supt Giam also said that police seized more than RM35.9mil worth of drugs last year and arrested 522 suspected traffickers. He thanked the public for their cooperation and urged anyone with information to contact the police hotline at 07-221 2999 or the nearest police station.
