PETALING JAYA: Thirteen individuals, including a civil servant and a teenage girl, were arrested during a 4am raid on a wild party that began last night at an apartment in Medini, Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
Iskandar Puteri district police chief Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said the raid led to the arrest of 10 men and three women between the ages of 17 and 27.
“Preliminary investigation found that the organisers invited the suspects to the party through WhatsApp and they were not charged any fee,” he said in a statement.
He said the party started at about 9pm and was scheduled to run into the early hours of the morning.
Dzulkhairi said they confiscated a set of speakers and laser lights, while urine tests found nine male and two female suspects testing positive for drugs.
He said further checks confirmed that two of the individuals had previous drug-related charges.
The case is being investigated under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and related provisions for violating SOPs under the national recovery plan, he said.
Section 15(1)(a) relates to the consumption or administration of relevant drugs under the Act and is punishable by a fine of up to RM5,000 or imprisonment of not more than two years.
