POLICE crippled a drug syndicate following its botched attempt to avoid detection by smuggling 1,633 kg of syabu worth about RM64.8 million in a lorry on a tow truck.
Perlis police chief Surina Saad said the drug was uncovered after the police stopped the tow truck during an integrated operation near Jalan Sungai Baru, Simpang Empat at about 4am on February 19.
