He said several documents were also confiscated, with the total value of the seizure estimated at RM5,340.
A 51-year-old foreign man, believed to be the caretaker of the premises, was detained to assist investigations.
Initial investigations found the location had no valid permit or licence to store controlled goods, and the case is being investigated under Section 20(1) of the Control of Supplies Act 1961 for storing controlled goods without authorisation from the Controller of Supplies Malaysia.
