KOTA KINABALU (June 11): Police seized nearly RM1 million worth of drugs in a series of raids at two luxury condominiums in the state capital earlier this month. Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun said a 23-year-old local man was arrested during the 7.45pm raid on July 4. A team from the Narcotic Division of the Kota Kinabalu Police Contingent (IPD-KK) raided the condominium units located at Jalan Haji Saman and in Jesselton. Both units were reportedly used to store syabu, ketamine and ecstasy, believed to be for both local and international distribution. 'In the first raid, police found a plastic bag containing 790.56 grams of syabu. Also seized were a money counting machine, digital scale and drug packaging equipment,' Jauteh said in a statement on Friday. Following the initial operation, police raided a second condominium rented by the suspect, where they found two plastic packets containing 14.14 grams of ketamine. The suspect then led investigators to a vehicle parked near the Sabah Art Gallery Outdoor Artspace. Inside the vehicle, police discovered a luggage bag and a box containing 12.7 kilograms of syabu, 6.9 kilograms of ketamine, 25 packets of ecstasy juice and 10 ecstasy pills. The total estimated value of the drugs seized was RM960,000. Police also confiscated two luxury four-wheel drive vehicles, bringing the total value of the seized drugs and assets to RM1.23 million. Jauteh said preliminary investigations indicate the drugs were smuggled into Sabah via air before being trafficked to neighbouring countries. 'The drugs seized could have supplied up to 100,000 drug addicts,' he said. The suspect tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine but has no prior criminal record. He is currently under remand for further investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Meanwhile, Jauteh revealed that Sabah police have seized RM6.56 million worth of drugs in the first six months of this year, almost doubling the RM2.62 million recorded during the same period in 2024. 'This RM3.94 million increase reflects the success of continuous intelligence and enforcement operations by the police,' he said. In total, Sabah police conducted 8,170 raids and arrested 8,542 drug-related suspects in the first half of 2025.

Cops seize drugs worth RM16m in raids on 3 Klang Valley syndicates
KUALA LUMPUR: Police crippled three drug syndicates in the Klang Valley and seized various narcotics worth RM16.01 million. Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the raids were carried out by the Federal and Kuala Lumpur Narcotics Crime Investigation Departments based on intelligence and public information. He said in the first raid on April 29, two men including a Filipino were arrested. "A search of their car uncovered 56 packages of methamphetamine weighing 58.42kg. "Further investigations led the police to another vehicle that contained 146.76 kg of methamphetamine, bringing the total seizure to 205 kg, valued at RM6.56 million." He said the syndicate was believed to have received drugs from Kelantan and stored them in vehicles before distribution in the Klang Valley. "This was believed to be their first operation here, and both suspects have been remanded for 10 days from April 30 to May 9," he said. He added that urine tests on both suspects were negative for drugs and they had no criminal record. In the second raid on May 5, Rusdi said a 45-year-old man was arrested with 1.86 grams of methamphetamine, which then led police to a lot in a shopping mall on Jalan Imbi that was used to store drugs. "Police found 221kg of methamphetamine, estimated to be worth RM7.07 million." Rusdi added that the suspect had a record of five previous offences and tested positive for methamphetamine. The man has been remanded for six days from May 6 to 11. In the third raid on May 6, Rusdi said two men aged 33 and 23 were arrested at a condominium in Taman Mastiara. "Police found various drugs, including ecstasy powder and pills, ketamine and Erimin 5. The total weight of the seizure was 17.72kg, valued at RM2.38 million." Rusdi said RM320,250 in cash and two vehicles were also confiscated. "This syndicate was believed to have used the luxury condominium for drug processing and storage since January," he said. He said the drugs seized in all three cases could supply 3.2 million addicts. "The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act. "We are also tracing the syndicates' networks and the suspects' assets under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988," he said.
