Two men were arrested for transporting 30 tonnes of timber in Riau, Indonesia. The operation began on October 13th when the public reported motorized boats carrying timber products along the Dedap River. The Riau Police were alerted, and the Water and Air Police (Polairud) Directorate dispatched a patrol boat and intelligence team to investigate.
The patrol team intercepted a vessel named KM Marlin, which was en route to Ketam Putih village in Bengkalis district. The boat's skipper and a passenger, both unnamed, were detained upon inspection as they lacked the necessary forest product permits (SKSHH) to transport the timber legally.
