TEMBURONG, 18 OCT – Two suspects were successfully arrested with 240 cans and 84 bottles of various types of liquor in a vehicle believed to have been smuggled from neighboring countries during a crime prevention operation in Temburong District.
According to a statement from the Royal Brunei Police Force (PPDB), the operation carried out by the Reserve Police Force ‘C’ Company (Forest Police) was carried out in a forestry area in Temburong District which is believed to be used as a center for unloading and distributing anti-drugs.
During the operation, the forest police team also found equipment believed to be used for drug abuse in the vehicle.
The case was then reported to the Bangar Police Station for submission to the Royal Brunei Customs and Excise Department and the Narcotics Control Bureau for further action.
In the meantime, PPDB urges the public not to get involved in activities that violate national laws because it will only bring bad consequences to themselves and their families.
PPDB is committed to continue to take active steps to combat and eliminate the smuggling of illegal goods.
