Kuala Lumpur: Police arrested a woman and seized drugs weighing over 10 kilogrammes (kg) from her car boot in Taman Danau Kota, Setapak here, on Monday.

The woman who tested positive for methamphetamine has been remanded for seven days from yesterday to facilitate investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
In SIBU, police managed to arrest a couple, who hid drugs in premixed coffee boxes, behind a post-office building here Tuesday.
