PENANG, May 10 (Bernama) -- Penang police detained a man and seized 1,921gm of heroin worth RM100,000 in a raid on an apartment in Greenlane here last Friday.

State police chief Deputy Commissioner Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob said the man, in his 30s, was detained at about 3.15pm by a team from the state anti-narcotics division.

"Police also seized a Toyota Vios and jewellery worth RM3,000 from the suspect," he told reporters here Monday.

He said police were still investigating whether the suspect was involved in a syndicate or was operating alone.

Initial investigations revealed that the suspect had no previous criminal record.

The man would be remanded until Wednesday for further investigation into drug trafficking.
