Glutinous rice smuggling bid foiled by border security

BUKIT KAYU HiTAM: A smuggling syndicate’s ploy to mislead the authorities by having two lorries filled with RM120,000 worth of glutinous rice travel at different times and along separate routes was foiled by the Kedah Border Security Agency.

Its Bukit Kayu Hitam area commander ASP Mohd Khairi Abdullah said the five-tonne lorries filled with 300 sacks of rice each were stopped in Jalan Kampung Langsat and Jalan Kodiang, Changlun, at 4pm and 4.20pm on Sunday.
