Malaysian, S'porean held over alleged drug offences after Johor car chase

A late-night police operation led to a dramatic car chase and the arrest of two suspects, including a Singaporean woman, resulting in the seizure of dangerous drugs worth an estimated RM54,831 (S$16,600).

Johor Police Chief Commissioner M. Kumar said the incident occurred at midnight on Dec 31 when a team from the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department of Johor Bahru South was conducting surveillance operations.

"The operation was conducted along Jalan Tampoi, Taman Seri Bahagia, when they spotted a grey compact car driving suspiciously.

"The team followed the vehicle closely until it reached Jalan Persiaran Alif Harmoni. When officers attempted to approach the car for inspection, the driver suddenly sped off, driving dangerously and injuring two officers in the process.

"Both officers sustained injuries in the arm after being knocked down by the vehicle," he said in a statement on Jan 1.
