Police have uncovered the sale of vape liquid laced with ketamin and ganja through an e-commerce website following the arrest of 17 individuals and the seizure of 250 bottles of liquid worth over RM58,000 during an operation around the Klang Valley.
The Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) conducted the operation on April 29 and 30 and arrested 15 local men, a foreign man as well as a woman with a permanent resident status. They were all aged between 20 and 56.
Bukit Aman JSJN director Datuk Ramli Din said the trend of selling the liquid through several popular e-commerce websites was detected since the beginning of the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“They use these e-commerce websites to promote the liquid drugs, which are believed to be sold at between RM200 and RM300 per bottle, which is labelled cbd, thc as well as hemp,” he said a press conference in Bukit Aman today.
He said preliminary investigations found that the sale of the drug-laced vape liquid was also done face-to-face, with payment done through cash on delivery and online transfer.
Ramli said the liquid, suspected to be drugs, was mostly imported from abroad as there were some countries that did not prohibit the use of these drugs.
Apart from arresting the individuals who sold the liquid, police will also investigate and take action against the e-commerce website involved, he stressed.
On another matter, Ramli said 346 people had been arrested for being involved in “wild parties” nationwide during the MCO period.
“A total of 132 individuals wanted in connection with drug cases in the country were also detained during the MCO period, especially during the Op COVID-19 roadblocks,” he said.
