Nik Ros Azhan said checks showed the man was about to distribute the drugs to his buyers.
It was learnt that the man, who obtained the supply from a local syndicate, had been repackaging and selling the items to drug users in Seberang Perai Tengah and Utara over the past few months.
On another matter, Nik Ros Azhan said police have also detained 15 drug addicts, including three women, aged between 17 and 50 years old, in several raids in Machang Bubok and Seberang Jaya. — BERNAMA © New Straits Times Press
