00:00 Contraband cigarettes worth more than RM2 million were seized in two separate raids

00:07 in Perak last Thursday.

00:09 The Perak Customs Department on Monday said they raided two residential areas in Setiwan

00:15 and Pantai Remis, respectively.

00:17 The department said they are working with other agencies to locate the owners of the

00:21 premises.

00:22 "The first case in Setiwan was a gated house.

00:30 It was easier for us to locate the owners of the premises.

00:39 The second case was a locked house.

00:40 The second case was in a house without a door.

00:41 We are not sure, but based on the robbery, we think it was for the Perak market.

00:42 If it was a cigarette, we might know.

00:43 Based on the case we received, it might be from Vietnam."

01:01 The Customs said they seized some 2.7 million sticks of contraband cigarettes from the premises.

01:07 They believe that the perpetrators kept the contraband in the premises because of unpaid

01:11 duties.

01:12 This is the biggest operation that the State Customs Department has conducted this year.
