Rantau Panjang:Kota Bharu The General Operations Force (GOF) apprehended a 30-year-old man in the parking area of the Rantau Panjang Immigration, Customs, Quarantine, and Security (ICQS) Complex early this morning. The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into a drug seizure that occurred at a courier premises in Rantau Panjang, Pasir Mas, on Sunday.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, GOF Tenggara Brigade Commander Datuk Ahmad Radzi Hussain stated that the suspect is believed to have ties to the confiscation of three kilogrammes of cannabis, 56 grammes of cannabis flowers, and 10 boxes of electronic cigarettes containing cannabis oil at a Line Clear Express courier premises.
