The smuggled goats.
By Connie Chieng
BAU: The army manning the border with Indonesia in Bau were surprised by two motorcyclists, both Indonesians, intending to smuggle goats into the state at about 10 am on Sunday.
The goats were kept in four big baskets attached to the motorcycles.
As the two motorcyclists were unable to produce any document when asked to, they were arrested.
The army brought the two suspects to the Bau police station who then alerted the Agriculture Department.
The Director of Agriculture Department, Nicholas Jemak thanked the army and police for their assistance.
He said it was an offence to smuggle goats into the country.
The maximum penalty for the offence is RM50,000 fine or jail of not more than two years or both upon conviction.
The two suspects in their 20s are being held for further questioning.
The goats were brought to the Agriculture Department for checking before they were destroyed.
