LAHAD DATU: Three Indonesian nationals were arrested here on Tuesday in two separate drug operations that also led to the discovery of a homemade air rifle.

Acting district police chief Supt Jimmy Panyau said the first suspect, a 35-year-old man detained at Ladang Sebrang, tested positive for drugs and was found with 5.4g of syabu worth RM594.

Later the same day, two more suspects, aged 40 and 41, were nabbed outside a house in Ladang Bagahak 3, with one caught carrying 5.07g of syabu and the other linked to an air rifle hidden on the porch.

Both men also tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, with all three suspects now under investigation for drug and firearm offences.

Police say investigations are ongoing to uncover the trafficking network while vowing to continue cracking down on narcotics in the district.
