GEORGE TOWN: Two police corporals on motorcycle patrol in Bukit Mertajam captured a man who was transporting a lorry-load of syabu, enough for 3.1 million addicts.
Weighing 623.76kg in total with a street value of RM22.46mil, it is the country’s largest syabu seizure in five years.
Kpl Simon Pasang Kana and Kpl Mohd Shahilmi Shadan were patrolling Jalan Kebun Nenas at 2am on Feb 25 when they spotted the lorry driver acting suspiciously.
Federal Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Razarudin Husain said they instructed the driver, a 23-year-old Indonesian, to stop and when inspected, found 495 packs of syabu weighing 511.95kg in the cargo bed.
