Drug items that were picked during the special operation by Brunei police. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): The Narcotics Control Bureau (BKN) arrested 35 individuals and smashed a major drug syndicate during 'Operasi Tokek', a large-scale anti-drug operation conducted from June 29 to July 14. The arrests, comprising 25 local citizens, nine permanent residents, and one foreign national aged between 17 and 59, were made in various locations across the Brunei-Muara and Belait districts, with the majority taking place at Jalan Nenas Sanggol, Kampong Katok. The operation uncovered 38.67 grammes of syabu (methamphetamine), 9.2 grammes of Ganja, and smaller amounts of ecstasy and Erimin 5 pills. Investigations revealed the syndicate was allegedly orchestrated by a 27-year-old local man, who employed several individuals, including minors, for drug smuggling and distribution. One family was also found to be involved, with each member playing a different role. Authorities also discovered that some members had been misusing their monthly welfare assistance to fund their drug trafficking activities. As part of the operation, two suspects were apprehended at the Sungai Tujoh Control Post in the Belait District while attempting to smuggle drugs into the country. They are being investigated under Section 5 of the Misuse of Drugs Act for importing controlled substances. Four other individuals are under investigation under Section 3A of the same act for possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. The BKN stated that the operation reflects its ongoing efforts to eradicate criminal activity in the Jalan Nenas Sanggol area. The bureau reaffirmed its commitment to continuing its crackdown on drug-related crimes to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. Authorities also seized BND1,156 and SGD2 in cash, suspected to be proceeds from drug trafficking, along with a vehicle and tools used for packaging and consuming drugs. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
