Johor police seize US$303,000 after drug raids

Malaysian police have arrested two men - a Singaporean and a Malaysian - for allegedly trafficking drug-laced vapes, seizing drugs and assets worth $303,000 in what authorities described as Johor’s largest recorded seizure of its kind.



They were nabbed in two separate raids in the Malaysian state Johor Bahru on Jan 29.



The Singaporean suspect, 38, was arrested in Taman Molek while the Malaysian suspect, 25, was arrested in front of a bank in Taman Mount Austin.



The Singaporean is believed to have managed the operation’s finances, while the Malaysian allegedly handled the distribution of the drug-laced vapes.
