MUAR, June 25 — The police have arrested a father-son duo and seized 6.38 kg of ecstasy powder worth over RM1 million during a raid at a house in Bukit Treh last Monday (June 16).
Muar police chief ACP Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the 49-year-old man and his 23-year-old son were caught in the act of allegedly processing the ecstasy powder by grinding it before packaging it into drink sachets.
“The 4pm to 10pm raid led to the discovery of approximately 6,389g of ecstasy powder worth RM1.06 million, along with various tools used for processing and repackaging the drugs.
“We also seized a Perodua Myvi worth RM13,000 and a Yamaha Y15ZR motorcycle valued at RM7,000, both believed to have been used in the drug distribution activities.
“The total value of the drugs and seized vehicles amounts to RM1.08 million. Investigations revealed the suspects began engaging in these illegal activities in February this year,” he said during a press conference at the Muar district police headquarters today.
Raiz added that both suspects have prior drug-related criminal records, with the father having previously served a prison sentence.
The case is being investigated under Sections 15(1)(a) and 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
