Two local women who strapped drugs worth about RM8.16mil to their bodies were nabbed before they got on a flight to Busan, South Korea.
The man is believed to be a syndicate member who was helping the women attach the drugs to their bodies using adhesive tape. "They were about to leave for the airport for their flight. These drug mules earn a lot of money per trip," he told a press conference at Ampang Jaya police headquarters on Monday .
"When they return, they get another payment of RM15,000. The syndicates pay them handsomely because the drugs are worth a lot more overseas," he said.
