Three women from Sabah detained at Jakarta airport for smuggling drugs 

Three Malaysian women, aged between 30 and 39 from Sabah, were detained at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

This is after authorities discovered drugs in their luggage and shoes on Monday (3 Aug).

Two suspects had previous drug records

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) informed Malaysian police about the arrests.

Two of the suspects have prior drug-related records and a documented history of substance abuse.

However, Datuk Hussein said the amount of drugs seized was small. Additionally, it was believed to be intended for personal use.
