PGA bongkar aktiviti pindah pasir, lombong arang batu, rampasan lebih RM40 juta
Seramai 14 lelaki turut ditahan dalam serbuan di tujuh lokasi Sarawak bermula 19 hingga 22 Ogos lalu.
The Briged Sarawak PGA conducted a series of illegal sand, gravel, and soil transport operations in Sarawak, resulting in the seizure of over RM40.55 million worth of property. Commanding Officer Lim Bak Phai of Briged Sarawak PGA revealed that 14 men were arrested and approximately 8,525 metric tons of gravel, four jengkauts, a crane, two barges, and two tugboats were stolen.
The operation, conducted jointly with the Sarawak Lands and Surveys Department (JTS) in Kuching, targeted locations such as Bau, Kota Samarahan, Sri Aman, Mukah, and Limbang. Initial investigations suggest that activities in Bau, Sri Aman, and Limbang are suspected of violating land regulations under the Sarawak Land Order. Four men were arrested in Mukah during a gravel collection and storage site search.
In two operations in Kota Samarahan, ten men were arrested for alleged earthmoving, land transportation, and sand collection, storage, and sale violations. Earthmoving and transportation activities led to the seizure of about 20 tons of luggage, six lorries, and two jengkauts. Approximately 2,986 square meters of river sand, a tugboat, a barge, two lorries, a jengkaut, and a digital weighbridge were stolen during the earthmoving and transportation operation.
The 14 men were handed over to JTS Mukah and Samarahan for further investigation under the Sarawak Land Order.
