PENAMPANG: The police arrested two local men aged 22 and 40 and seized 30 litres of suspected ketum drink in a raid on a car workshop in Putatan.

During the operation, officers from the district's Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division also discovered a packet containing 3.28kg of green powder believed to be ketum.

Both suspects tested negative for drugs, and police confirmed they had no prior criminal records.

They were remanded and are being investigated under Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act 1952, which carries a maximum penalty of RM10,000 or four years’ imprisonment, or both.

District police chief Supt Sammy Newton urged the public to report any information related to drug offences.
