BINTULU: Two men were arrested for allegedly possessing and transporting diesel in a van without any permit on Friday (Jan 6) in Bintulu.
Bintulu district police chief Supt Bartholomew Umpit said that both suspects were arrested after the police were led to the discovery of a 1,000 litre tank stored at the back of the van.
The duo was nabbed after failing to produce any permit or relevant document from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) for the possession, transport or storage of the controlled item.
Bartholomew added that the enforcement team had seized the vehicle and diesel.
“The operation will continue from time to time; the police (PDRM) would like to thank the public and will welcome further information from the public in the future”, he said.
He also reminded and warned the public not to be involved in carrying illegal items which could be harmful.
The case has been handed over to Bintulu KPDNHEP for further action.
