The driver was promptly arrested. Further examination revealed that a female passenger was also in possession of narcotics concealed in her handbag. Consequently, both individuals were detained and transported to the Philipsburg Police Station for further investigation.
While processing the suspects, and in consultation with the Prosecutor’s Office, it was
determined that fines would be imposed on the individuals. The male suspect, who had been
apprehended alongside the female passenger, stated that he lacked the necessary funds to pay his
fine and requested that officers accompany him to his residence to retrieve the required amount.
Upon arrival at his home, officers observed a significant quantity of various narcotics, including
cocaine, ecstasy pills (XTC), hash, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia such as scales and
packaging materials. Additionally, approximately $2,000 in cash was also confiscated from the
residence. Consequently, the narcotics were seized, and the suspect was returned to custody,
where he remains incarcerated pending further investigation.
KPSM remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring public
safety through continuous monitoring and enforcement.
