Police nab eight, seize firecrackers worth RM510,000 04 Feb 2021 / 21:15 H. Pix for illustration purposes. MELAKA: On the pretext of delivering aid to flood victims, a syndicate was supplying banned firecrackers to ready buyers over the past two months. The group finally met its waterloo following the arrest of eight people, including a Thai woman in four separate raids around Alor Gajah and Melaka Tengah, on Monday and Tuesday. The police team also seized firecrackers worth RM510,000 in the raids. Melaka police chief Datuk Abdul Majid Mohd Ali said the suspects pasted flood relief mission posters on the lorries when sending the firecrackers to customers, besides also showing the employer’s letter at roadblocks, especially at state borders, following the enforcement of the current Movement Control Order (MCO).
