TAWAU - The General Operations Force (PGA) through its 14th Battalion 14 here seized cigarettes worth RM 64,000 from a car by the roadside near a roundabout in Kalabakan near yesterday.
Commanding Officer Supt Mustapha Othman said in the incident at 3 a.m., PGA members seized Premiro cigarettes (300 cartons), Djarum Black cigarettes (200 cartons), Surya Menthol cigarettes (80 cartons) and Fit Wild cigarettes (240 cartons) which were hidden in several boxes in the car.
