KOTA BHARU, 30 June 2020:

The General Operations Force (GOF) detained four men for allegedly trying to smuggle in chicken worth RM46,050, on Sunday night.

GOF 7th Battalion commanding officer Supt Azhar Nusi the suspects, aged between 33 and 43, were in separate lorries when they were detained at 12.40am during a roadblock mounted at Banggol Kong, Jeram Perdah in Pasir Mas.

He said all of them failed to produce any documentation – forcing the GOF personnel on duty to conduct further checks on the vehicles.
