Police detained a lorry driver and seized 3.97 kilogramme of drug, believed to be cannabis, worth RM10,000, at a house in a raid at Kampung Pegoh Dalam here last Saturday.
Following his arrest, police believed that they had crippled a drug peddling syndicate in the Alor Gajah district.
Alor Gajah district police chief Supt Muhammad Ismail Muhammad Yusuf said when police raided the house about 11.30 pm that day, the 41-year-old suspect, who had previous records for drug-related offences, was found in possession of several packets, believed to contain the drug.
He tested positive for drug and was detained for investigation under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, an offence which carried the mandatory death penalty if found guilty.
In another development, Muhammad Ismail said 31 men and 10 women, aged between 19 and 31, were detained at a wild party held at two bungalows in a resort here during a raid conducted about 2 am last Monday.
He said 21 of them, including four women, tested positive for drug.
One of them, who is in his 20s, was found in possession of drug, he added.
He said initial investigation found that invitation to the party was made through the Whatsapp and Wechat applications and entrance was free.
