SIBU (May 7): Marine Police personnel arrested five individuals and seized 45,000 litres of diesel during an operation at a private jetty along Batang Igan here on April 30.
Sarawak Marine Police commander ACP Ab Rahman Mat Hasan said a team was conducting a patrol under Op Taring Pensura when it came across a group of persons transferring fuel from an oil tanker truck onto a tugboat.
'The tanker driver and tugboat crew were detained after they failed to produce valid documents from the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) to possess, store or transport diesel, which is a controlled item,' he said in a statement.
He said apart from the fuel, the team also seized the tanker truck and tugboat, with the total value of seizures estimated at RM9.3 million.
The case has been handed over to KPDN for further investigation under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.
Ab Rahman also called on the public to continue channelling information on smuggling activities to the authorities. Batang Igan diesel kpdn police Sibu smuggling
