PASIR MAS, Dec 24 (NNN-BERNAMA) — Police seized 100kg of drugs\u00a0believed to be syabu,\u00a0worth about\u00a0RM7 million, following a car chase in Kampung Lubok Gong, Rantau Panjang yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of the 7th Battalion General Operations Force (PGA7) recovered the drugs from a four-wheel drive  but the two suspects in it managed to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PGA Southeast Brigade commander SAC Kamarulzaman Maarof said the PGA’s Strike Force personnel had come across the suspicious-looking Mitsubishi Triton at about 8.30pm and tried to intercept it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The driver sped off and a chase ensued. The vehicle skidded onto the road shoulder in Kampung Tasek Permai in Lubok Gong and the two suspects fled into a swampy forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As it was quite dark, attempts to arrest the two suspects failed but we found an identity card, believed to belong to one of them, in the vehicle,” he told a news conference at the Pasir Mas district police headquarters here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also present were Kelantan deputy police chief SAC Abdullah Mohamad Piah and Pasir Mas district police chief ACP Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamarulzaman said the syabu was packed in 100 Chinese tea packages and kept in four boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We believe the drugs were smuggled in from a neighbouring country for distribution in the Klang Valley and local markets. It can be used by about 40,000 addicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the biggest seizure made by the PGA so far this year under Ops Wawasan in Kelantan,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
