ICQS Bukit Kayu Hitam tutup 2 jam kerana bagasi mencurigakan

The Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs Quarantine and Safety Complex (ICQS) was temporarily closed for two hours on Tuesday night after a suspicious red suitcase was found in the immigration/customs inspection area, Block B of the complex. Kubang Pasu Police Chief Mohd Radzi Abdul Rahim revealed that the suitcase was discovered at around 5:55 pm in the immigration/customs inspection hall, having been left behind without anyone claiming it.

The suitcase was subsequently taken to the X-ray machine for scanning. After the scan, the customs officers found images containing explosive materials and detonators. The Anti-Personnel Bomb Unit (UPB) of the Kedah Regional Police arrived at the scene at 8:45 pm to neutralize the suitcase, considering the safety risks in the surrounding area.

According to the police statement, the ICQS complex was also closed from 9:30 am to 11:30 pm to allow the UPB unit to carry out its task. The suitcase was successfully opened at 11 pm, and no explosive materials were found. The examination only revealed a jacket, oil in a container, hair dryer in black color, shampoo and soap.
