KOTA BARU: A 29-year-old woman was arrested for possession of 1,100 methamphetamine pills worth more than RM27,000 in an operation at Kampung Kijang near Pantai Cahaya Bulan here on Sunday.
State narcotic chief Superintendent Mit Emong said police arrested the 29-year-old wife during a raid at their home in Kampung Kijang about 2.30pm.
“During the raid, police seized six packages containing the pills. Her 38-year-old husband was detained after he surrendered himself to the police several hours later,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
