KUALA LUMPUR: A cocaine processing laboratory has been dismantled with the arrest of a foreign “cook” and the seizure of RM8 million worth of drugs and equipment.
The ‘cook’ who holds dual passports from Hong Kong and England, is believed to have entered Malaysia as a tourist on Jan 3.
Police are investigating whether this laboratory has links to Latin American drug cartels or other syndicates specialising in cocaine processing and distribution.
Federal Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Khaw Kok Chin said a team arrested the 27-year-old suspect following a raid at a premises in Pusat Perindustrian Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Klang Lama, on Jan 15, based on intelligence gathered.
