Seized items during Ops Tiris 3.0 raid in Ipoh

During the Ops Tiris 3.0 raid in Ipoh on May 24, authorities seized a modified truck involved in the misappropriation of subsidised diesel, along with its illicit cargo and associated equipment. The operation, conducted by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN), aimed to dismantle a syndicate exploiting subsidised fuel.
Modified truck and diesel confiscated

A modified truck was apprehended while filling up with subsidised diesel at a petrol station. This vehicle was equipped with an additional tank installed within its cargo space, connected to the original fuel tank. Upon inspection, this auxiliary tank was found to contain 1,700 litres of diesel, indicating a systematic operation to accumulate subsidised fuel.
Additional equipment and documents seized

In addition to the truck and the diesel it contained, the seized items included the additional tank itself, hose pipes, and a pump motor. These tools were integral to the syndicate's method of siphoning and transporting the misappropriated fuel from multiple petrol stations before its distribution on the black market. Several related documents and other pertinent equipment were also confiscated as evidence.
Estimated value of seized items

The total estimated value of all confiscated items, including the truck, the diesel, and the associated equipment, was RM23,655. This seizure represents a significant disruption to the syndicate's operations, which relied on modified vehicles to circumvent regulations and profit from the resale of subsidised diesel. The investigation is ongoing to identify other potential individuals or companies involved.
