KUALA LUMPUR: Cannabis laced biscuits and cakes along with eight blocks of the drug worth more than RM200,000 were seized following raids in the city and Petaling Jaya.

       Police also detained a man and a woman during the raid on Tuesday (Sept 3).

       Kuala Lumpur Narcotic Crime Investigation Department chief Asst Comm Sahar Abd Latif said police stopped a car in front of a condominium at Jalan Pudu at about 3.50pm on Tuesday.

       "We arrested a 34-year-old man with 25 containers of biscuit and 53 cakes laced with cannabis from the car.

       "The suspect then led police to another condominium in PJ midtown at 6.30pm the same day and arrested a 28-year-old woman.

       We seized 131 containers of cannabis biscuits, 41 cannabis cakes, eight blocks of cannabis and 31kg of liquid cannabis from the residential unit," he said when contacted on Thursday (Sept 9).

       The total drugs seized from both raids were 156 barrels of cannabis biscuits, 94 cannabis cakes, eight blocks of cannabis and 31kg liquid cannabis, ACP Sahar said.

       "Initial investigations revealed that both suspects were lovers, who used their homes to produce cannabis biscuits and cakes.

       "The duo would sell biscuits at RM100 per container and RM50 per cake.

       "They would sell to close friends via social media and they have been active for about five months," he said.
