The illegal immigrants caught in a car in Tawau by security forces under Esscom on Saturday morning.

KOTA KINABALU: Security forces in Sabah's east coast continue to play a game of cat and mouse as illegal immigrants continue to attempt to sneak in using backdoor routes.

However, three Indonesians who managed to slip into Tawau from neighbouring Kalimantan were caught inside a car with their local agent at Kg Hidayat along Jalan Apas about 6km from the town at around 5.30am Saturday (June 12).
