Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief ACP Ahmad Jefferi Abdullah said the 49-year-old father and 26-year-old son were arrested at a car park in Jenjarom.
He said a brown box containing 10 packets of Chinese tea believed to contain drugs, weighing about 10.2 kg was seized from them.
The suspects then led the police to a two-storey terrace house in Bandar Saujana Putra, Jenjarom, where the police found two more brown boxes containing 43 Chine tea packets, believed to also contain drugs weighing 43.86 kg.
