The first raid was executed on October 5, 2006, in Kg Setia, Mukim Sungai Kebun, where a 46-year-old drug trafficker from Kg Ayer was nabbed along with two men believe to be involved in an illegal drug syndicate.

In that raid, the bureau confiscated a total of 13 plastic packets containing `syabu' hidden in a cigarette box.

The trafficker has long been active and was cunningly elusive until the NCB's continuous efforts topped up with public assistance in proving information, finally apprehended him and held in remand for investigation.

A house in Kg Batong Panchur Murai was the second target on October 14, 2006, where a local married couple was apprehended for trafficking in syabu.

The working couple, aged between 31 and 28 years old are still under remand. The husband works as a school bus driver and his wife is a freelance make-up artist.
