SEMPORNA: Marine Police foiled an attempt by three speed boats to smuggle out petrol at the waters of Kampung Batu at 7.14pm on Wednesday.

Sabah Region Four Marine Commander, ACP Mohd Nazri Ibrahim, said inspection of the boats led to the discovery of 416 gallons containing petrol.

But he said no arrest had been made as the Marine believed that the boats’ operators managed to sniff out the presence of the enforcement team.

“All the seizures are estimated worth RM265,638,” he said, adding that investigation would be carried out under the Control of Supply Act 1961.
