Marine cops seize over RM200,000 in illicit cigs and booze in Beluran

KOTA KINABALU: What appeared to be a vacant house in Sabah's east coast Beluran district turned out to actually be a smugglers' hiding-place for contraband containing over RM200,000 of contraband cigarettes and alcohol.

Marine police personnel were conducting an anti-contraband operation dubbed Ops Taring Landai Khas Kontraban when they were tipped off about the house at Kampung Sapi Nangoh, some 205km from here, on Sunday (Jan 14).
