The Royal Custom and Excise
Enforcement Unit has once again foiled an attempt to bring
contraband goods into the country. In a raid on Tuesday night at
the Pantai Seri Kenangan Beach in the Tutong District, officers of
the unit seized a good number of alcoholic drinks, 4 hundred packets
of cigarettes without health warning from Brunei Darussalam’s
government and 126 kilogrammes of Allana frozen meat. The goods
were found in the back seat and in the boot of the car. |

The suspected perpetrator managed
to escape. The authority believes that the goods, which were
estimated to be worth B$5 thousand, were meant to be sold by
individuals, as well as at several eating outlets in the
country. The goods and the vehicle used in the smuggling have
been confiscated.
The raid was conducted based on a
tip off from the public.
