Begawan - Two uniformed staff were nabbed last Tuesday evening
in a drug bust by Narcotics Control Bureau officials at the government
barracks in Tutong District.
The two local Malay suspects are in
their 30s.
The Narcotics Control Bureau
officials confiscated the drug Methylamphetamine, which is locally
known as Syabu, "Erimin 5" and a drug believed to be "ganja". The
utensils used in the consumption of drugs were also seized.
In addition, cash amounting to $3,000
was confiscated. Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, Chapter 27, those
caught in possession of more than 50 grammes of Methylamphetamine (syabu)
could face the death penalty.
The Narcotics Control Bureau urged
the public not to be involved in the misuse and trafficking of drugs
and warned that offenders would receive heavy penalties.
Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control
Bureau said that it is continuously monitoring measures for preventing
the misuse of drugs.
Any information on the misuse of
drugs should be reported to the bureau via telephone number 147
(office hours) or the hotline 8777444 (after office hours). --
