JOHOR BARU: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry seized 56,520 litres of diesel in a raid on a warehouse in Bukit Pasir, Muar, yesterday.
State director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said enforcers swooped on the warehouse because they believed it was used to store diesel without a licence.
"We confiscated 56,520 litres of diesel worth about RM121,518," she said in a statement today.
She said the people at the warehouse could not produce licences and permits for possessing, storing, and transporting diesel.
The raiding team also seized 20 storage tanks, diesel transfer equipment, and two lorries.
Two lorry drivers, both Malaysians, and a foreign warehouse keeper were detained.
