KOTA BARU: Police arrested a 31-year-old jobless man and seized two guns and five bullets in an operation yesterday.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun said the suspect was detained at a house in Kampung Pasir Kelang in Kuala Krai.
"A police party raided the house at 7.30pm based on a tip-off. On checking the premises, they found a shotgun, pistol and bullets.
"They arrested the suspect, who tested positive for drugs," he told a press conference here today.
Zaki said police were investigating the motive of the suspect over the possession of the weapons.
