180 Of Petrol Uncovered At Mouse Trail Near Border
By James Kon & Yusrin Junaidi

Bandar Seri Begawan - With the petrol price hitting RM1.91 per litre in Malaysia, smugglers are trying to make a quick buck by supplying petrol across the border.

Some 180 litres of regular petrol, worth about $90, were found by police rangers at one of the mouse trails, leading to Kampong Junjungan I during a routine patrol last Saturday.

It was the second time that the police had uncovered fuel smuggling activities at the mouse trail last month.

Two police rangers from the Reserve Unit Company ‘C’, who were on patrol in the vicinity near the border, stumbled upon a fresh motorcycle track leading to a mouse trail at 9.35 am on Saturday.

Following the trail, they found six containers, including one inside a basket.

It was believed that the spot was a drop-off and pick-up point for smugglers.

Police rangers staked out in the area.

However, no one came to collect the petrol.

According to police personnel, it was believed that the smugglers "used the mouse trail to smuggle fuel and contrabands. Once their activities are discovered, they will move on to a new mouse trail".

Police rangers are currently keeping a close watch on the area, while the fuel has been confiscated and the case is looked into by the Royal Brunei Police Force. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
