KOTA BARU – The General Operations Force (GOF) detained a man and seized 828kg of frozen chicken, worth RM10,350, believed to have been smuggled from a neighbouring country in a raid near Kg Bukit Lata in Pasir Mas yesterday.
GOF Tenggara Brigade commander Datuk Hasan Basri Ahmad Safar said the 27-year-old man was earlier seen driving a Proton Perdana car which was then spotted near the Jetong illegal jetty along the Kelantan side of the Sg Golok banks.
A few men were seen unloading boxes from a boat into the car, he said, adding that the suspect, who was in the driver’s seat drove away at speed upon realising the presence of the GOF team.
“The GOF members had to fire several shots at the front and rear tyres of the car before the suspect was arrested in Kg Bukit Lata,” he said in a statement today.
He said checks found that the suspect had two previous records for drug-related offences and following an inspection of the car, GOF personnel found 69 boxes containing frozen chicken. – Bernama, June 15, 2022
