By M K Anwar

Bandar Seri Begawan - A total of 200 grammes of 'Syabu' or Methylamphetamine were confiscated by the Special Operations Squad from the Enforcement and Intelligence Division of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in several raids last week in Brunei Muara District.

The raids saw the detention of 14 people, 8 males and 6 females, in connection with drug related activities. Out of the 14 suspects, 11 were locals while the other three were foreigners.

In one of the operations held in the early hours of January 28th, NCB officers raided a house in Kg Saba and two houses in Kg Bolkiah B in Kg Ayer.

50 grammes of 'Syabu' were found in the houses in both kampongs and seven people believed to be drug dealers were detained for investigation.

The NCB, in a press release yesterday, said that the drug confiscation has crippled the activities of three drug dealers who were active in Kg Ayer. At the same time the NCB succeeded in interrupting the supply of drugs to addicts.

The operation followed surveillance organised for several weeks by officers from the Enforcement and Intelligence Division of NCB.

Drug trafficking can be punishable by the death penalty.

The Narcotics Control Bureau expressed its thanks to the public for giving information to the NCB. It is hoped that such cooperation would be increased from time to time and hopefully this will help eradicate illegal drug activities.

Those who would like to give information on any illegal drug activities can call the 147 hotline (during office hours) or mobile phone at 8777444 (after office hours).

The NCB assured that the identity of any informers will be kept confidential. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
