-KOTA BHARU, Nov 11 — A frozen chicken trader in Pasir Tumboh, here, is suspected of obtaining between 300 and 500 boxes of stock from a supplier in Thailand before selling them at his wholesale premises.
General Operations Force (GOF) Southeast Brigade Commander Datuk Ahmad Radzi Hussain said the matter came to light following the arrest of a 38-year-old man during an Op Salju Mega raid at a premises along Jalan Pasir Puteh, Kampung Pasir Tumboh, at about noon yesterday.
He said the suspect claimed that the frozen chicken had been brought into the country legally through the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) complex before being sold at his wholesale outlet.
“An inspection by the enforcement team uncovered 209 boxes of frozen chicken, weighing 2,508 kilogrammes and worth RM42,845, stored in a refrigerated container at the premises,” he said in a statement last night.
