KLIA Customs seizes RM1m in cannabis and ketamine hidden in shoes, toys and tool shipments

SEPANG, Oct 28 — The Royal Malaysian Customs Department at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has foiled two attempts to smuggle cannabis flowers and ketamine weighing a total of 16.39kg and worth RM1.03 million.

KLIA Customs director Aspalila Ag. Tuah said the first case involved the seizure of seven packages containing 7.28kg of cannabis flowers worth RM582,400 at the Pos Malaysia International Mail Centre at KLIA on October 12. The drugs were believed to be destined for export to a European country.

“KLIA Customs found airtight transparent plastic packages suspected to contain cannabis flowers hidden in boxes declared as containing shoes and toys,” she told a press conference here today.

In the second case, an enforcement team seized a box containing nine aluminium packets filled with 9.114kg of ketamine, worth RM455,700, at a cargo terminal in the KLIA Free Trade Zone on October 9, she said.

“The drugs were brought in through cargo services and concealed in aluminium packets and boxes declared as containing pipe wrenches and toolboxes to avoid detection by the authorities,” she said, adding that the consignment from a European country was believed to be destined for Kuala Lumpur.

She said both cases, which are being investigated under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, involved shipments with incomplete and false recipient and sender addresses.

In another development, Aspalila said two Mini Cooper S cars worth an estimated RM180,000 were seized at two locations in Sepang on September 14 for being smuggled into the country without valid import permits and fitted with false registration numbers to evade detection, with the estimated taxes and duties totalling RM154,620.

“Efforts are underway to trace the vehicle owners, and the cases are being investigated under Section 135(1)(d) of the Customs Act 1967,” she said. — Bernama

雪邦，10 月 28 日讯——吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）皇家马来西亚海关部门挫败了两起走私大麻花和氯胺酮的企图，总重 16.39 公斤，价值 103 万令吉。

吉隆坡国际机场海关总监阿斯帕利拉·阿格·图阿表示，首起案件涉及10月12日在吉隆坡国际机场马来西亚邮政国际邮件中心查获的7个包裹，内含7.28公斤大麻花，价值582400令吉。这些毒品据信将出口到欧洲某国。

“吉隆坡国际机场海关在申报为鞋子和玩具的箱子里发现了疑似装有大麻花的密封透明塑料包装，”她今天在新闻发布会上说。

她说，在第二起案件中，执法队于 10 月 9 日在吉隆坡国际机场自由贸易区的一个货运站查获了一个箱子，里面装有 9 个铝箔包装的氯胺酮，总重 9.114 公斤，价值 455,700 令吉。

“这些毒品是通过货运服务运进来的，藏在铝箔包装袋和盒子里，申报为装有管钳和工具箱，以逃避当局的检查，”她说道，并补充说，这批来自欧洲国家的货物据信是运往吉隆坡的。

她说，这两起案件均根据 1952 年《危险药物法》第 39B(1)(a) 条进行调查，涉及收件人和发件人地址不完整或虚假的货物运输。

阿斯帕利拉表示，另有消息称，9 月 14 日，在雪邦的两个地点查获了两辆价值约 18 万令吉的 Mini Cooper S 汽车，这些汽车因走私入境而未持有有效的进口许可证，并安装了虚假的注册号码以逃避检查，估计税费总额为 154,620 令吉。

“目前正在努力追踪车主，案件正根据1967年《海关法》第135(1)(d)条进行调查，”她说道。——马新社
