PETALING JAYA: A coffee shop here has been turning hundreds of its regular customers into drug addicts by pushing a "five-star" herbal tea to them.

The discovery was made by a Health Ministry team yesterday, when it raided a pharmacy in New Town here.
The team discovered that up to 1,000 codeine tablets a week had been sold to the coffee shop.
The owner added one tablet into each glass of herbal tea. The tablet dissolves easily, leaving many customers unaware that their drinks had been spiked.
