KUALA LUMPUR: Police here have seized drugs worth close to RM2mil in an operation in the Klang Valley on Monday (Sept 2), says city police chief Comm Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa.

“Following their arrest, the police were then brought to a house in Cheras Perdana in Selangor. The premise is believed to have been used as a storehouse for the drugs,” he said.
Comm Rusdi added at a press conference on Thursday (Sept 5) at the police's contingent headquarters that 5.2kg of ecstasy and 4kg of ketamine were found at the house.
