KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 — Five people, including a private college student, were arrested following the discovery of drugs, believed to be ganja, in their ‘roti canai’ order delivered sent by a deliveryman last Monday.

Gombak Police chief ACP Arifai Tarawe said the suspects were picked up during a five-hour operation which began at 8.30pm yesterday.

He said the 19-year-old student, who ordered the food, was nabbed in Setiawangsa and also tested positive for drugs.

“Two other men were arrested at a house in Bangsar and were believed to have supplied the drug to the college student.

The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Yesterday, a delivery rider has lodged a police report after finding two packets of drugs, believed to be ganja, in his customer’s food packet.
