The drug syndicate in Johor is believed to have processed drugs in rented properties before distributing the items to neighbouring countries.
The men were subsequently handed over to Singapore’s Central Narcotics Bureau and later charged in court. SINGAPORE: Two Singaporean men who were nabbed in Johor during drug raids were charged in Singapore on Thursday with drug trafficking and failing to report for urine tests.
The Royal Malaysia Police said in an earlier media statement that the 14 people – comprising two Malaysian men, six foreign men and six foreign women aged between 22 and 52 – were arrested in seven raids around Johor Bahru and the Iskandar Puteri area. The amount of drugs confiscated is capable of feeding the addiction of about 1.24 million addicts, said NCID director Khaw Kok Chin.
Investigations revealed that one of the tactics used by the syndicate involved packing drugs in juice packets, as well as manufacturing drugs to look like medicines, including painkillers.
