Four boat skippers, 30 undocumented migrants nabbed at illegal jetty in Nibong
TANAH MERAH: Four men believed to be boat skippers were detained alongside 30 undocumented migrants from Myanmar in an operation at the Yuti illegal jetty in Nibong yesterday.
District police chief Superintendent Mohd Haki Hasbullah said the raid kicked off at 9.45am based on police intelligence.
"Checks at the location led police to the arrests of 34 people, including 30 undocumented migrants comprising 18 men and 12 women from Myanmar.
"The others were Malaysian men believed to have brought the migrants over to the country, with three of these men also testing positive for drug use," he said.
Haki said police also found a bottle containing what is believed to be 450ml of ketum juice in a Perodua Myvi parked nearby.
He said police seized both the Myvi and a Honda City found at the scene.
The case is being investigated under the Immigration Act, Dangerous Drugs Act and Poison Act.
