Police raided a flat along Jalan San Peng on Tuesday at 1am and arrested a 43-year-old woman, her 24-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son, all three suspected to be drug traffickers. They also found 36 packets of heroin weighing 71.3g and worth RM3,600.
The son had even attempted to throw some of the drug out of a window. It is learnt that since the age of 12, the son had been involved in drug business by acting as a lookout for police while suppliers were trafficking drugs.
Police believed that the mother and daughter were accomplices to the teenage boy as they have known about his involvement and drugs were found in the flat unit. The three have been tested negative for drugs and are being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act.

Johor Baru
Showgirls have been parading in a restaurant in Taman Skudai Baru on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights between midnight and 1am. Police have busted the restaurant yesterday for flouting city council entertainment regulations and arrested a 28-year-old showgirl.
The restaurant operators blocked off Jalan Hang Kasturi 23 by setting a stage and placing tables around the stage to cater for 1,000 diners. Male clients would usually pack the restaurant to watch the showgirls take off their clothing piece by piece leaving only bra and shorts on. The customers could buy the showgirls a bouquet for RM10 or a sash between RM50 and RM1,000.
About RM40,000 worth of sound equipment were seized by the police. The stage was also shut down and a 24-year-old man believed to be the disc jockey was arrested. Police said that the restaurant operators may be charged under Section 6(2) of the Johor Entertainment Enactment for operating an illegal entertainment centre, which carries a one-year jail term or a RM10,000 fine or both.
