Four Indonesians have been arrested in Malaysia's biggest-ever Ecstasy bust, police said on Thursday.
The four men were sleeping when narcotics police raided their bungalow in Georgetown, Pengang, late on Tuesday, according to The Star newspaper. Police seized drugs worth some 38 million ringgit, or more than $11 million.
“We recovered a total of 42,282 such pills and 322.8kg Ecstasy powder which could be made into another 922,300 pills,” state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob told a press conference. He added that police were investigating whether the Ecstasy was meant for the international market.
Police also seized cash, jewelry, several laptop computers and eight luxury cars.
Authorities believe the Indonesian-based drug ring moved to Malaysia to avoid having to smuggle the drugs into the country.
