The man who was driving raised suspicion when he was seen reversing quickly and dangerously on KM0.6 of the highway, and the police managed to stop him before he fled. Inspection of the car led to the discovery of a small amount of heroin, with other equipment believed to be used for drug abuse.
Datuk Shazeli, however, did not elaborate further after confirming the arrest that was made on Saturday (August 23), reported BERNAMA and Astro Awani.
