KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police busted a crime syndicate and seized $375 million-worth of cocaine, ketamine and other drugs, calling it in one of country’s largest hauls to date.
Four sting operations around Kuala Lumpur netted more than four tons of cocaine and 14 tons of ketamine, as well as the synthetic drug MDMA and drug-making equipment, police said in a statement released Saturday.
During Tuesday’s raids, police arrested six suspects: three local men and three foreign women.
Cars, forklifts and a truck were also confiscated.
Narcotics Crime Investigation Department chief Hussein Omar Khan told journalists at a press conference that the haul was “definitely one of the biggest drug seizures ever” in Malaysia.
