MIRI: A local man and two Vietnamese women who were detained on Tuesday morning for drug possession have been remanded for six days until May 28, to help police probe into the case.
The remand order was meted out by Magistrate Kasyfurrahman Abang Ahmad on Wednesday afternoon (May 22).
Earlier, investigation officer Inspector Ameerul Ashraf applied for a seven-day remand as they needed time to track down the actual owner of the vehicle that the police have seized during the raid on Tuesday morning.
The three accused who are aged 19, 22 and 23 will be investigated under Section 39B, 39A (1), 12(2) and 15(1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
All three of them were produced at the Miri Magistrate Court on Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning, police arrested the trio and seized 808.32g of five different types of drugs worth about RM82,201.10.
