KUCHING: The police revealed that two men were arrested during a roadblock at Jalan Haji Taha last Thursday night.
Central Police Station chief ASP Ahmad Abang said the first case was that of a 25-year-old man who had a transparent plastic packet containing dried compressed leaves suspected to be marijuana.
He explained that around 11.15pm on Jan 17, he and 18 constables blocked Jalan Haji Taha.
“During a vehicle inspection, two men on a motorcycle tried to avoid the roadblock, but we managed to arrest one of them, the rider.
“In his black backpack, we found a transparent plastic packet containing dried leaves which we suspected was cannabis weighing 10.35 grammes,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The suspect was arrested and the cannabis was seized for further action.
In the second case, a 31-year-old man driving a stolen car was arrested. The car was reported missing in Sibu.
He said the suspect was detained around 11.30pm during a roadblock at the same location.
The suspect’s car registration number was found to be fake, but the car’s chassis number matched the number registered to the car reported missing in Sibu.
Ahmad said the suspect was arrested and the car was seized for further investigation.
