A local man, 32 and a Malaysian woman, 25, were detained after the Narcotic Control Bureau seized 100 packets of the Methylamphetamine controlled drug or known as "Syabu" packed in different sizes.

It was believed teach packet costs $30, $50 and $100. The couple's activities were scrutinised a week ahead of the raid.

During an inspection at the house, eight drugs addicts were arrested. They were believed to be taking and purchasing the controlled drugs. They are under investigation.

With the couple's arrest, the Narcotic Control Bureau also successfully defeated another drug dealing activity at the Kampong Ayer area. The couple was detained for further investigation for dealing with the controlled drug, an offence under the Misuse of the Drug Act.

The Narcotic Control Bureau called on the members of the public especially the society head, to be more responsible within their village area and to give their co-operation and lodge a report on any drug-related activities.
