PENAMPANG: A meth head trio had the evening with RM 7000 before they were arrested after breaking into a VIPโs house in Putatan on Saturday.
The all local male gangs aged 31 to 37-years were rounded up from separate locations by district CID police at 9pm.
District police chief DSP Haris Ibrahim said the homeowner lodged a report at 10.23 in the morning.
