Police have been undercover investigating alcohol smuggling in Klang since September, at 2 locations at Taman Sentosa this month at 5pm on September 21 and 11 am on September 22.

Selangor Chief Inspector Datuk Azunaidi held the meeting this afternoon in the company of Assistant Commissioner Tse Hong Fong, Klang South Police District Chief. The 4th Battalion Intelligence Brigade of the Semenyih Police General Administration (PGA) is in Semenyih, the press conference said.

"Police successfully arrested a 58-year-old local man and nine foreign men aged between 22 and 46 in the operation," he said.

Azunaidi disclosed that the group is believed to have been active for half a year and started renting a fenced warehouse three months ago for use as a liquor store.

"It is believed that these bootleg liquors are smuggled in from abroad and then stored in warehouses to be sold in the Klang market."

He said the case was still under investigation and police were looking for the warehouse manager, believed to be the owner, to assist in the investigation.
