Miri police cripple drug syndicate
January 31, 2010, Sunday

MIRI: Miri Police crippled a drug trafficking syndicate using courier service in Miri with the arrest of eight male suspects and confiscated drugs worth RM700,000 in street value in three different locations within this week.

All three raids were led by Miri Narcotics police chief, ASP Gariel Risut.

Among those arrested yesterday was Miri High Court interpreter, 29, and a school dropout, 15.

All the arrests made after over three months investigation and public tip-offs.

Supt Ismail said with the arrest of the suspects, they believe they have busted the drug trafficking syndicate dealing in drugs meant for distribution to locals and a neighbouring country.

The court interpreter was arrested on Friday at Jalan Post here in front of Miri post office after collecting a box sent to him from Kuala Lumpur around 1.05pm Friday, said deputy Miri police chief, Supt Ismail Idris at a press conference on Saturday.

The police confiscated from inside a box, 12 packages believed to be Syabu weighing 605g, collected by the interpreter, who is the son of a local newspaper group editor in the state. It had a street value of RM300,000.

Meanwhile, the juvenile was arrested with five other male suspects by the Police Narcotics team during a raid of a house in Pujut Lima here on Thursday morning.

Upon checking the house in Pujut Lima, police found a powder, suspected to be ketamine weighing 70.7g (worth RM14,000) which had been inserted into cigarettes, said Supt Ismail.

All suspects arrested at Pujut Lima tested positive for drugs.

On the same day (Jan 28) at about 12pm, Miri Narcotics Police led by ASP Gabriel, once again raided a house at Kampung Pujut Adong, apprehended a man and confiscated a box containing 10 packages believed to be Syabu and RM2,000 cash.

Do you guys actually believe they ( drug dealers or whatsoever) are using courier service for drug trafficking? I think it is a setup by the local police to trap drug users.

14

Hmm yeah i do believe. I heard from a courier service company, they even courier Pirated CD/DVD(true im not lying, but they dont do it anymore, risky) so drugs oso surely gets passed.

15

i think what you do not believe, thats how they like to do it…

cuz if you wont even think of that method in the first place… hence they are safe doing their stuff…

Bravo to PDRM miri for thinking outside the box…

So if these is the case, then it will be easy just to kill your enemy, send him a parcel containing drug in it, then inform the police and your enemy is finish… can this works?

Is not that I plan to do… just that I think this is a stupid trick there are using… i cannot believe nowaday still have people courier drugs in parcel… and also the sender pun surely kena if get caught right because when he/she needs to write down their name…Yes? Do the courier company check? And should the courier company get to court for helping them to parcel the drugs form point A to B… without checking the content?

17

drug case = big case
house breaking = small issue?

two suspects (on bicycles?) broke into my house these morning in taman yakin,again. they left three finger prints for police follow up. i hope the police catch these theives as i need to know who they are so that they will be ‘bear hug’ follow up from me for these culprits once they finished their jail sentence.

I’d worked in courier service company before… no one will check your stuff inside your package… unless u are very lucky… i once saw a guy got caught at my office… the police from bukit aman follow the parcel inside our gunny sack from KL to Miri… :slight_smile: they very SINCERE & DEDICATED to deliver the parcel to the receiver,

good job miri police…keep up the good job…

Drug dealers aren’t the most brightest lot.

Sender can write down fake information, you know. No IC checks or whatsoever, and even if they asked for it, how will they know the IC is not fake?

How can courier company check? Open every new packages? What happens if they open certain packages while causing damages to the product?

Airports security don’t even open every luggage.

Its just too much cost & time consuming.
