SIBU: Marine police arrested a local man for allegedly transporting 600 litres of diesel without proper documents from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN).

Sibu police chief ACP Zulkipli Suhaili said the arrest under ‘Ops Kontraban’ was made around 10 am yesterday (Mar 28) along Jalan Upper Lanang.

During the operation, the team pulled over a suspicious looking van driven by the suspect for inspection.

He failed to produce any documents to possess, store or carry controlled items from KPDN.

“It led to the seizure of a tank containing 600 litres of diesel. The estimated value of the seizure is around RM46,900,” he said.

The case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.

The suspect and the seized diesel have been handed over to KPDN Sibu for further action.
