Retired policewoman in hit-and-run tests positive for drugs

SEREMBAN: A retired policewoman arrested over a hit-and-run accident in Rembau last night tested positive for drugs, police said.

Rembau deputy police chief Azmi Ali said the 65-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly crashing into two vehicles and fleeing along the Jalan Seremban-Tampin route towards Bukit Beruang, Ayer Keroh, Melaka.

He said police received a report on the incident at 10.30pm.

The woman, driving a Honda, allegedly rammed into a van driven by a 43-year-old man and a Perodua Viva driven by a 22-year-old man. No injuries were reported.

“Personnel from the Rembau police headquarters mobile patrol vehicle unit attempted to stop the vehicle, but the woman refused to cooperate.

“She was eventually arrested in Jalan Bukit Beruang, Melaka,” he said in a statement.

Azmi said a search of the vehicle uncovered a brown zippered bag containing four pills suspected to be ecstasy.

A urine test also found the woman positive for amphetamine, but she had no prior criminal or drug-related record, he said.

Police detained the suspect at the Melaka Tengah police headquarters and obtained a remand order from the Ayer Keroh magistrates’ court this morning.

The case is being investigated under Section 12(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Rule 10 of Road Traffic Rules 166/59
