KUCHING - Police have arrested a suspected drug trafficker and seized more than 25 kilogrammes of drugs, worth RM1.2 million, in three raids in the city last Saturday (Feb 27).

Sarawak deputy police commissioner DCP Datuk Mancha Ata said the suspect, who tested negative for drug and with no precious criminal record, was in remand for seven days until March 5.

He said the suspect was arrested, together with a certain amount of drug, at a five-foot way of a restaurant in Jalan Penrissen here.
