SEREMBAN: Negeri Sembilan police foiled an attempt to smuggle 9.238 kilogrammes (kg) of drugs believed to be syabu (methamphetamine), worth RM476,180, to Indonesia at the Port Dickson Passenger Jetty Terminal here two days ago.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said an Indonesian man in his 20s, believed to be a drug mule, was also arrested after he was spotted acting suspiciously while carrying a medium-sized black suitcase at the terminal at about 9.30 am.

He said that upon inspecting the suitcase, police found a modified compartment used to conceal six packages containing about five kg of drugs believed to be syabu, along with clothing.

“Following the arrest, we conducted a further search at a condominium in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, where the suspect had been staying since arriving in the country on Nov 4, and found another piece of luggage containing the same type of drugs, weighing about 4.238kg.
