SUBANG JAYA: Police confiscated smuggled fireworks worth RM200,000 after stopping a three-tonne lorry at a roadblock on the Besraya Expressway near Serdang Lama on Saturday.
Subang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar said yesterday that his men stopped the Malacca-bound lorry at 5.45am.
"We asked the 49-year-old driver to open the rear door and found 256 unmarked boxes that contained 10,560 smaller boxes of six types of fireworks," Zainal said at the Seri Kembangan police station.
He said the driver, who had no criminal record, was arrested and remanded for four days.
Police believe the fireworks were brought in from a neighbouring country.
"We believe the fireworks were to be sold in Malacca for Hari Raya and Chinese New Year.
"We are investigating who the supplier and main buyer of the fireworks are."
