SHAH ALAM: Two men have been arrested while attempting to collect RM6.32mil worth of syabu from a pickup truck near Bukit Puchong.

Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk S. Sasikala Devi said a team from the Subang Jaya Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) conducted an operation on Nov 12 that led to the seizure and arrests.

"They conducted intelligence gathering for about a week before arresting the two suspects in a car at around 7.30pm.

"Upon questioning, the suspects then told police about the drugs, which were in a truck about 15m from where they were arrested," she told reporters on Monday (Nov 20).

She said the suspects then led police to the vehicle, and a search revealed eight sacks containing 190 packets labelled as refined Chinese tea.
