They tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol.
Mazlan said the suspects have been remanded until July 26.
Jewellery and vehicles of the worth RM514,953 were seized from the suspects.
“They used luxury vehicles and lived in similar condominiums in order to attract customers as well as to evade authorities.

Mazlan said the suspects entered the country several years ago.
They initially worked as property agents, but turned to drug dealing, he added.
