Two Indonesians nabbed for drugs

MALAYSIA: Malaysian police have detained two Indonesian men believed to be key figures in a drug smuggling syndicate distributing marijuana to the capital city, reports said on Tuesday.

The two men, who come from the Indonesian province of Aceh, were caught in possession of 55 kilograms of marijuana during a raid following a public tip-off, said Selangor state police chief Fauzi Saari.

"Police first confiscated 40 blocks of (marijuana) from the men. The suspects later led police to a house where they found another 15 blocks of the substance," Fauzi was quoted as saying by the Star daily.

The two suspects, aged 23 and 33, are believed to be part of an international drug syndicate which has been operating in the city for the past six months. --DPA
