KUCHING: A 63-year-old man was among five villagers arrested by police for possessing methamphetamine during a police raid in Asajaya on Wednesday.

The men, all from Kampung Sadong Jaya, were caught at a house in Kampung Sadong Jaya Laut around 12.30pm and later found with RM5,600 worth of the drug, said Sarawak Narcotics Crime Investigation Department head Supt Hasnir Abdul Hamid.

“During the raid, the suspects were loitering in front of the house and upon realising the presence of police, one of them threw an object onto the roof of the neighbour’s house,” Hasnir said in a statement yesterday.
