KUALA LUMPUR – The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is working with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in carrying out an investigation into the arrest of a Malaysian man in connection with a drug seizure.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Kamarudin Md Din said the 34-year-old man was among four individuals arrested following the seizure of 622 kg of methamphetamine in Melbourne.
“All actions will be taken to ensure that any drug distribution and smuggling activities that are a threat to the country can be eradicated without compromise,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The media yesterday reported that the Australian police arrested four men after the methamphetamine was found hidden inside a shipment of toilet paper rolls which arrived in Melbourne via sea cargo from Malaysia on October 4.
The drugs seized have a street value estimated at almost AU$560 million (RM1.7 billion). – October 13, 2023
