Marine cops foil bid to smuggle illegal ciggies worth RM95,130

PONTIAN: Marine police crippled an attempt to smuggle 1,000 cartons of illicit cigarettes worth RM95,130 into the country at Sungai Sanglang near here.

Southern Region Two Marine Police Asst Comm Paul Khiu Khon Chiang said the discovery was made at around 4.50pm on Friday following a tip-off.

Cigarettes of various brands worth RM95,130 were found in the van.

“When our team reached the scene, they saw a man running away from a white van.

“Efforts to capture him failed as he managed to escape into the woods nearby,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

The case was being investigated under the Customs Act 1967.

“We will continue to monitor such illegal activities especially at hotspots used for bringing in contraband items,” added ACP Khiu.-thestar
