Family of four held in drug bust

MIRI: A family of four, believed to be operating a drug distribution syndicate, was detained during a police raid.
The four were found with seven suspected clients when police raided their house in Kampung Sealine near Lutong bazaar on Saturday night.
The husband and wife were aged 54 and 41 respectively, and their two sons aged 19 and 21. Some 70 tubes containing what is believed to be syabu were seized.
All of them were brought to the Miri central police station by the anti-narcotics squad led by senior officers from Kuching, who had flown here to lead the raid.
A source said the family were in the midst of a drug deal with the seven men when police moved in. The source said police had been monitoring the family for some time, adding that the suspects were believed to have used their home as a distribution centre.
Also seized were over RM15,000, electronic gadgets, weighing equipment, personal documents and three vehicles.
