Two brothers detained in Limbang police’s anti-drug raid
Police nabbed two siblings during an anti- drug raid on a house in Jalan Ipai here last Friday.
The eldest of the two, aged 21, is studying at a local university while his younger brother is a 14year- old school dropout.
Limbang OCPD Supt Mohd Bukhori Saffai confirmed the arrest yesterday, adding that the brothers appeared to be ‘ high on drugs’ when the team from Limbang Narcotics Unit froun them inside a room at the house.
There were no suspicious signs found in the room when the brothers were apprehended, but the two later tested positive for amphetamine at Bambangan police station.
Both were detained by police for 24 hours to facilitate investigation into the case framed under Section 15 (1) (a) of Dangerous Drug Act 1952.
In a separate case on the same day, police seized several items suspected to be stolen loot.
An anti-theft operation named ‘Ops Pintu’ on the junction of the road leading to the Marine Police base here yielded a 50-year- old man, who later led them to the items kept inside a vehicle in the area.
The items seized included sport shoes and two walkie-talkies.
According to Mohd Bukhori, police are investigating the case under Section 457 of the Penal Code, with ongoing efforts being taken to track other stolen items.
