Police here busted two drug trafficking and smuggling syndicates following three raids in Kota Tinggi and Johor Baru last week.

State police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said five suspects, believed to be the masterminds of the syndicates, were arrested in the raids.

He said a suspect tested positive for methamphetamine while checks showed that one of them also had previous records of criminal offences.

Ayob Khan said the syndicate's modus operandi is to smuggle the drugs to a neighbouring country via sea.

The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
