KUCHING: A teenager was nabbed in a parking lot of a commercial centre at Matang Jaya near here for alleged drug possession early yesterday morning.
Padawan district police chief Supt Aidil Bolhassan said the 17-year-old school dropout was nabbed at around 2.50am by the district narcotic police.
“Body checks made on the suspect found nothing suspicious but a check on the suspect’s motorcycle found a sealed packet in a compartment beneath the seat.
“The packet contains 17 small packets containing dried leaves believed to be ganja (marijuana) weighing 13.91 grammes,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Aidil also pointed out that although the suspect was tested negative for drug he was brought to the district headquarters where he was later taken to Tapah police station’s lock-up.
Initial investigations revealed that the suspect had no previous record.
The case is being investigated under Section 6 of the Dangerous Drugs Act, 1952.
