Cops cripple Sepang drug ring run by married couple [WATCH]

SEPANG: A small-scale drug trafficking group, run by a married couple and two accomplices, was dismantled by police after operating in Sepang for nine years. The group had been using rented cars and hotels to traffic drugs since 2016. Their operation came to a halt after police arrested the four in separate raids on Wednesday. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman said that in the first raid, police seized various types of drugs with an estimated street value of RM16,500. This included 84.32g of syabu, 65g of heroin, 14g of ketamine, and 97g of Erimin 5 pills, totalling 300 tablets. "A rented Perodua Myvi, believed to be used in drug distribution activities, was also confiscated," he told a press conference, adding the couple was arrested first. "Initial investigations revealed that the syndicate regularly changed cars and used hotels to conceal their movements. Police believe they were paid about RM1,600 per delivery trip," he said. Norhizam said one of the suspects, the husband, has six prior criminal and drug-related offences. He was also wanted in connection with a robbery. "Urine tests found the husband was positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, while the wife tested negative." Norhizam said a follow-up raid, based on information from the interrogation, led to the arrest of two more local men, aged between 35 and 39 years old. "In the second operation, police seized 515g of syabu, estimated to be worth RM20,000, along with another rented vehicle, a Perodua Viva. "Both suspects tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine." One of the accomplices has a record of eight criminal and drug-related offences and is also wanted in two active cases under the Dangerous Drugs Act for possession and use. Norhizam added that the suspects were childhood friends from the same village and had used the money from drug trafficking for a living. He also said all four suspects were remanded yesterday to assist investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act for drug trafficking, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment with at least 15 strokes of the rotan. "The woman was remanded for five days while the other three suspects were remanded for seven days each." Norhizam added that investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other members of the network still at large.
