Johor cops bust 21 drug rings, seize RM81m in drugs since January
JOHOR BAHRU: Johor police have crippled 21 drug trafficking syndicates and seized illicit narcotics worth RM81.07 million in the first five months of this year. Johor police chief Datuk M. Kumar said the success of the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) also led to the arrest of 58 syndicate members and asset seizures worth RM2.26 million. 'Additionally, JSJN recorded an impressive performance, making a total of 10,794 arrests for various drug offences during the same period. They also seized drugs worth RM83.18 million and forfeited assets valued at RM7.49 million,' he said in his speech at the Johor Police Contingent Headquarters monthly gathering here today. Kumar said the Internal Security and Public Order Department also recorded seizures of illicit cigarettes worth RM48,000 and misappropriated subsidised palm oil worth RM1.11 million. Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department contributed by achieving a 59.64 per cent resolution rate for index crimes during the period. Kumar also said that 54 rape cases involving teenagers were recorded from 2023 until last year. 'One of the primary causes is the easy accessibility of pornographic content on social media, the general lack of awareness about Malaysian laws concerning such crimes, and the breakdown of family structures. This situation results in teenagers missing out on attention, affection, and supervision from their parents,' he added. To proactively address the issue, the Sexual Investigation Unit has visited schools to deliver talks and raise awareness among students about such crimes. He urged all parties to take these cases seriously, advising parents to express affection, raise their children with strong religious and moral values and stay vigilant about their children's activities and social circles. Meanwhile, at the monthly gathering, 47 individuals received appreciation awards, including four members of the public and 43 police officers from various ranks, as well as public servants from the Johor contingent. -- BERNAMA

Police dismantle major drug syndicate in Sibu
SIBU: Police have dismantled a major drug trafficking syndicate operating in Sibu for nearly a decade, seizing drugs and assets totalling RM8.5mil. This is the largest in Sarawak's history. Two suspects, a 52-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman, believed to be the masterminds, were arrested during the raids. "The raids were conducted on June 12 and 13 at three locations: a shop lot in Pusat Pedada and two terrace houses in Lorong Permai Jaya, following intelligence gathered on the syndicate's activities," said Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mancha Ata on Monday (June 16). Mancha said police seized drugs worth an estimated RM532,934.40, including 7,086.7 grams of syabu (methamphetamine), 2,078.9 grams of ketamine, and 2,022.6 grams of Erimin 5 pills. 'The total amount of drugs seized is enough to supply about 49,702 drug addicts,' Mancha said. In addition to the narcotics, police confiscated high-value assets believed to be proceeds from the drug trade, valued at RM7,997,450. These include RM5,157,450 in cash, four gold bars, two gold chains, three Rolex watches, and luxury vehicles: a Lexus RX350F Sport, a Lexus ES250, and a Toyota Vios. Police also seized various items used in the syndicate's operations, including bank cards, house keys, and drug packaging equipment. According to Mancha, initial investigations revealed that the duo had been running the operation since 2015, obtaining drug supplies from Peninsular Malaysia via courier services and distributing them in Sibu. "Both suspects tested negative for drug use and have no prior criminal records. They are being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment with no less than 12 strokes of the cane if the death penalty is not imposed," he explained. The suspects have been remanded for seven days from June 13 to 20 to assist with investigations. Mancha added that police are actively pursuing other syndicate members still at large to completely dismantle the network. He emphasised the commitment of the police, particularly the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department, to fighting drug-related crime, one of the nation's most serious threats. The public is urged to report any drug-related activity via the JSJN hotline at 012-2087222.
