According to a statement by Mersing District Police Chief Superintendent Abdul Razak Abdullah Sani, he said police received a report about the 24-year-old woman being abducted by an unknown person last Thursday (Aug 22) at Endau, Johor.
He added that based on the information given to them by the public, the police eventually found the woman safe and sound at Rompin, Pahang on Friday (Aug 23), reported Harian Metro.
Police investigations revealed that the victim had given false information to her family, claiming that she was kidnapped because she wanted to spend the night with friends in the area where she was found.
“A preliminary urine screening test later found that she had tested positive for methamphetamine. Two men aged between 16 and 24 were also arrested in connection to the case and all three of them were remanded for three days,” he said.
Abdul Razak said the case is now being probed under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1953 and reminded the public not to file false police reports as it’s punishable under Section 182 of the Penal Code.
Under this act, those found guilty of the offence face up to six months in jail, a fine of RM2,000, or both.
