KOTA BARU – The General Operations Force (GOF) seized 22 boxes of vape liquid worth RM550,000 that were found hidden in a bush near Kampung Degong, Pasir Mas, at midnight.

GOF Ninth Battalion commanding officer Nor Azizan Yusof however, said no one was arrested in the 12.30 am inspection that was carried following a public tip-off.

“When inspected, the boxes were found to contain more than 5,500 bottles of vape liquid.

“Each bottle of the Funta Grape E-Juice contains 50ml of vape liquid,” he said in a statement, today.
