Man caught cooking up club drugs at condo
KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested a man who had allegedly produced drugs at his condominium unit to be sold to nightclub patrons.

Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said a team of police personnel from the Brickfields Narcotic Crime Investigation Division raided the condominium unit in Bandar Baru Seri Petaling at about 4.20am last Saturday (May 18), following a tip-off.

The team detained the 45-year-old man and seized various drugs, including 2.3kg of MDMA powder, 108.4g of ecstasy pills, and 20.6g of ketamine.

“We also seized various tools used to produce drugs. Among the tools were ovens, weighing machines, blenders and several bottles,” he told a press conference at the Brickfields district police headquarters yesterday.

He said the man was suspected of operating the illegal drug production on his own at the condominium unit.

“We believe he has been operating for about two months.

“Most of these customers are partygoers in the Klang Valley who would purchase drugs from the suspect before going to clubs,” he said.

The suspect, who had 10 past crimes, mostly for drug-related offences, has been remanded until Friday, said ACP Ku Mashariman.

“We believe the suspect is self-taught, as he did his own research before going into drug trafficking.

“He also tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine,” he said.

He added that the suspect’s customers would text their orders via a text messaging application before the suspect would send the drugs directly to them.

“Each 30g pack of drugs is priced between RM200 and RM250 each.

“The drugs seized from the place were worth RM106,650 and could have been supplied to 1,545 drug users,” he said.

In another case, ACP Ku Mashariman said an infant who was found in a parking lot of an apartment at Pantai Dalam died due to injuries inflicted by animals after she was dumped in the area.

“We believe the suspects who dumped the baby are not residents of the apartment.

“This is because the residents did not remember seeing any of their fellow residents pregnant,” he added.

ACP Ku Mashariman said the police received a call at around 9.33am on Friday about the body, which was found by the apartment manager.
