PENAMPANG: Police seized over 78 litres of ketum water worth RM1,320 in three separate arrests during a joint crime prevention operation in Putatan.

The bust on Tuesday night saw three local men aged between 33 and 41 detained with a total of 53 bottles of suspected ketum-laced liquid.

All suspects were taken to the Penampang district police headquarters for further investigation under Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act 1952.

If convicted, they face a fine of up to RM10,000, imprisonment of up to four years, or both.

Police warned there would be no compromise in tackling drug-linked offences and urged the public to report any ketum-related activity.
