The Australian co-founder and former chief editor of Yangon-based Myanmar Times newspaper Ross Dunkley was arrested by police at his apartment in Bahan township early Thursday morning allegedly in possession of a large amount of mehamphitamine tablets and crystal meth, according to a report in The Irrawaddy Online on Thursday.

 

Banhan township police chief, Pol Maj Thein Win, said police found 797 mehamphitamine pills and 303 grams of “ice” in Dunkley’s rented residence in San Yan Twin street. He added that Dunkley was charged under the anti-narcotics law and his allleged offence is punishable by death or unlimited jail term.


Dunkley’s arrest caused a stir among local netizens, coming as anti-narcotics police hunt suspects linked to a record drug bust in Malaysia’s Port Kelang in May and a day after they arrested one of the chief suspects, Haj Yassin, aka Maung Maung, in Mandalay division.
