DUNGUN, MALAYSIA - Police, acting on a tip-off about a "dangerous kidnapper" at a house in Taman Mutiara, found 12 youths high on drugs instead.

The 20-year-old alleged kidnapper was among those arrested in the raid yesterday.

Others included nine college students. Police believe they have a new lead on the operations of a pusher supplying drugs to college students.

OCPD Supt Dahlan Mohd Noor said the raid was conducted after police received information that a kidnapper was living in the house.

He said the nine students were pursuing their diploma in mechanical engineering at a nearby institute.

'We never expected to catch the students. Recently, we embarked on a campaign to remind students not to take drugs but it seems to have been unsuccessful,' he added.
