SEREMBAN: Drug traffickers from the Klang Valley and Johor went “harvesting” at an oil palm estate in Negri Sembilan. However, the joint-venture had nothing to do with palm oil or oil palm fruits. Instead, police investigations revealed that the traffickers had set up a drug distribution centre hidden away in the plantation to avoid police detection.
For a while, they operated the centre without any police harrassment. But not for long. They underestimated the power of police-public cooperation.
State narcotics crime investigation department chief Supt R. Ravichandran said police crippled the distribution centre, thanks to public cooperation.
“Members of the drug syndicate had used the oil palm plantation as a distribution centre, thus making it difficult for us to locate them.
“However, with the cooperation and information from the nearby villagers, our operations against the syndicate went satisfactorily,” he told reporters at his office here today.
Ravichandran said on April 25, a 26-year-old drug pusher was detained while trying to distribute drugs in Taman Seremban Jaya.
The suspect was believed to be linked to a drug syndicate in the Klang Valley.
