Bandar Seri Begawan - A 35-year-old Thai man was arrested for operating a mobile business without a licence, selling food and daily necessities along Jalan Kuala Balai, Kg Mumong.

He was arrested by the Belait Immigration Enforcement Section last week.

Upon investigation, Immigration officials discovered the suspect's employment pass stated he had been employed as a labourer in the country. However, he was caught selling daily food supplies such as fresh meat, vegetables, oil and others items using a vehicle. Prior to the arrest, Immigration officials conducted surveillance on the suspect.

Inspections revealed the suspect had made records of purchased items by credit and items for sale belonging to him. The Thai national was detained and brought in for further investigation. He was slapped with a $600 compound fine under Rule 15(3) of the Immigration Rules.
