Pistol, live bullets seized in Tumpat
TUMPAT: The General Operations Force (GOF) arrested two Thai nationals and seized a revolver along with 35 bullets during an operation here yesterday. GOF Southeast Brigade Commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid said the operation was conducted at about 7.45am at a house in Kampung Pauh Seratus near Pengkalan Kubor. "Based on intelligence received from the public, a GOF team from the Seventh Battalion, with the assistance of the Tumpat Criminal Investigation Division, raided the house. "During the raid, they found a 30-year-old Thai man and a 40-year-old Thai woman in one of the rooms. "Further checks uncovered a .38 calibre revolver loaded with six live bullets, 29 additional bullets, a spent casing, and three mobile phones," he said. Ros Azhan said urine tests for both suspects returned negative results for drug use. "Initial investigations revealed the firearm was purchased in Thailand for 37,000 baht (approximately RM4,800) for personal use," he said. He said the two are being investigated under Section 8 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 and Section 8(a) of the Arms Act 1960. "They are also being investigated under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for entering the country without valid travel documents," he said. He added that the battalion would continue operations to combat cross-border firearms smuggling along the Kelantan–Thai border. "We are committed to ensuring national security remains intact," he said.
