Cops seek five more suspects in Nilai drug heist probe
SEREMBAN: Police are looking for five more suspects to help in their probe over a drug heist at the Customs Narcotics headquarters in Nilai near here early Sunday (Aug 5).
State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Noor Azam Jamaluddin said although police believe they have resolved the case, they still need to question the five to tie up loose ends.
He identified two of the five men still at large as Tong Lip Seong and Tung Seong Long, both aged 30 and from Port Dickson.
“We have so far detained five suspects and seized 48.32g of ketamine and RM58,973 from one of them.
“We have also seized some partially burnt boxes in which the illicit drugs were allegedly hidden,” he told reporters at the state police contingent on Tuesday (Aug 7).
DCP Noor Azam said police have also seized a Toyota Vellfire and an Isuzu four-wheel-drive from the suspects.

PETALING JAYA, Aug 6 — Police have arrested five men, including two Customs Department officers, in connection with the RM30 million robbery of the Department’s Narcotics Unit in Kampung Jijan, Nilai.
A group of masked men barged into the department yesterday morning and fled with seized drugs worth RM30 million.
Customs director-general Datuk Seri Subromaniam Tholasy said among the five arrested were two security guards who claimed they had been tied up with masking tape by the robbers.
“All five suspects have been remanded for six days starting today. Police investigations are ongoing,” Subromaniam said.
He said the drugs that were stolen by the robbers were recently seized by Customs officers during an operation at Westport, Klang.
“The stolen boxes contained 50kg of ketamine and heroin. They were brought to the department’s narcotics unit’s storage facility in Nilai for further investigations,” he said.
Subromaniam said his department has already initiated an internal investigation and at this point, suspect that some parties within the department had facilitated in execution of the robbery.
“The officers found to be involved will be sacked immediately,” he said in a statement.

NILAI: Ten men pulled off a daring heist, beating up two guards and escaping with 80 boxes of drugs worth a staggering RM30.4 million, at the Customs Department’s Narcotics Unit in Kampung Jijan, on Sunday.
A police source said the robbers, all wearing masks, entered the Customs lot in two four-wheel drive vehicles and a car around 3am.
The men, armed with sticks, proceeded to beat up two guards and tied them up with masking tape.
“One of the robbers told the guards that they were there to ‘recover goods taken from them’. The drugs were kept in a container unit in front of the Customs office,” the source told NSTP.
The robbers proceeded to smash one of the 10 containers and fled with 80 boxes, believed to be drugs.
“Investigations suggest that they knew what they were looking for, as they targeted only one of the containers. There is a strong possibility that the robbers were out to take back items which Customs officers had seized recently,” said the source.
The robbers took 15 minutes to carry out the heist and left the two guards, both in their 50s, tied up.
“The two men eventually managed to free themselves around 5am and alerted their employer. They lodged a report at the Nilai police headquarters at 8am,” said the source.
The heist is believed to be the first of its kind at a Customs office.
