DUNGUN: Three men who reportedly lost their way while carrying out land surveying work in a forest area in Kampung Tok Kah here have been found safe.
Dungun OCPD Supt Nik Ab Halim Nik Mat said Wan Muhamad Haziem Wan Abdullah, 32, Wan Hafizuddin Aiman Wan Zamili, 23, and Muhammad Adam Ruzilan, 22, were found at 11.30pm on Tuesday.
He said the men entered the forest area on Tuesday morning with three other colleagues to carry out land surveying work, before they split into two groups.
“The three are believed to have gotten lost after failing to find a way out of the forest. Police received a call at about 7.30pm from the other group members who managed to exit the area,” he said when contacted by Bernama.
He said a search and rescue operation was then launched involving five policemen, five firemen and three surveyors.
“Based on the location coordinates sent by the victim, the rescue team entered the forest area for about one kilometre before successfully locating the three,” he said.
