Sarawak police uncovered a drug dealer’s jungle outpost on a raid in the forests off of Jalan Merapok in Lawas this week. The bust occurred at 4:30pm, and a suspect was taken into custody.
The enterprising pusher would use the location that was 10km off the main road as a meeting point for his customers, and had been operating out of the location for months before police shut him down.
Lawas police revealed to New Straits Times that they received a tip-off from the public, and had been staking out the location for a few days before confirming its nefarious dealings.
Nearly 14 grams of syabu were found, valued at more than RM3,500 (US$830) were seized. The drugs were divided into four neat, clear plastic baggie packages, ready for sale.
Police report that the suspect, rather unsurprisingly, tested positive for methamphetamine.
