KUALA LUMPUR: Police stormed a condominium unit in Johor Baru today and arrested a Singaporean man, known as 'Boy Setan', believed to be responsible for smuggling drugs using a drone.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Ramli Din said the suspect, 40, was nabbed by a team of officers and personnel from the Johor NCID.
"The Johor NCID is continuing investigations and a remand order will be made soon," he said when contacted by Bernama.
Yesterday, Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the man, whose real name is Mohamad Azli Ahmad Said, was also wanted by the Singaporean authorities for drug-related offences.
According to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), flight data taken from one of the suspects' telephone showed that the drone was flown from Kranji, Singapore to Johor Baru and back to Kranji again.
Based on that information, Singapore police also arrested a 24-year-old woman and a 40-year-man for further investigations. -- BERNAMA
