GOF seizes RM125,000 worth of vape products in Kelantan raid
KOTA BARU: The General Operations Force (GOF) seized 1,242 units of electronic cigarette liquid and 36 boxes of electronic cigarette devices in a raid on a premises in Jalan Jeli Kelewek, Tanah Merah on Monday.
GOF Southeast Brigade commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid said the seizure was carried out under Op Taring Wawasan Kelantan at 10.15pm.
He said an inspection found that a 43-year-old local man in the premises failed to produce any valid ownership documents or storage permission for the liquid and vape devices from the Tanah Merah district council (MDTM).
"A total of 1,242 units of liquid and 36 boxes of vape devices were found in the premises. The total seizure is estimated to be worth RM125,000, and the items have been handed over to the council for further action.
"The case is being investigated under Sections 3(1) and 8(1) of the MDTM Business and Industrial Trade Licensing By-Laws 2019," he said in a statement today. –BERNAMA
