“The man was detained in a room in the house with an aluminum foil containing 10 Erimin 5 pills weighing 2.85 gm. Team members then enlisted the help of K9 sniffer dogs to detect drugs outside the house.

“A sniffer dog named ‘Black’ found a cloth bag covered with a box on the ground, which contained three transparent plastic packets containing 126.40 gm of heroin in a hut outside the house," Langkawi district police chief ACP Shariman Ashari was quoted as saying.

ACP Shariman added that the heroin seized could be used by 120 to 150 drug addicts.
