Malaysia’s marine police arrested four Indonesian men who allegedly tried to smuggle 149 kilograms (328 pounds) of marijuana packed in instant noodle boxes, a news report said Saturday.
Police intercepted the suspects’ boat Friday near Westport, a key port north of Kuala Lumpur, and found the huge cannabis stash, The Star daily reported.
The bust was the biggest drug haul by Malaysian authorities this year.
The boat’s captain and three crew members – all Indonesians aged between 22 and 55-years-old – were arrested, said Abdul Rahman Ahmad, a senior police official.
A police spokesman, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, confirmed the arrests but declined to elaborate.
The suspects could face the death penalty if convicted of drug trafficking. (*)
