Marine Police have arrested four Mainland men for smuggling second-hand computer monitors worth $200,000.

 

At 9pm yesterday, officers stopped a suspicious cargo vessel near East Ninepin Island while a speedboat with a man on board picked up three other men from the vessel.

 

Marine Police stopped the speedboat and arrested the four for illegal immigration and attempting to export unmanifested cargo. They seized 4,000 second-hand computer monitors. The case will be transferred to the Customs & Excise Department.
