KUALA LUMPUR: Police seized 320 kilogrammes of syabu (methamphetamine) worth RM11.5 million from two local men in a raid at a house in Setiawangsa here last Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur Deputy Police Chief Datuk Yahaya Othman said the men, aged 29 and 34, had been active in drug trafficking since last September and were arrested at 5.40pm.
He said in the raid on the house which was used as a drug store, police found 13 sacks containing 310 packages of 'Guanyingwang' Chinese tea in golden yellow and green believed to contain syabu.
"Police also seized a Toyota Vios car estimated to be worth RM20,800, believed to be the vehicle used for transporting drugs," he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters, here today.
Yahaya said interrogations found that the first suspect, a car salesman, had two drug-related criminal records while the second , who was an online salesman, had one drug-related criminal record.
In addition, he said the investigation found that the two suspects were selling the drugs for the local market and around the Klang Valley and urine tests found one of them positive for drugs.
