Myanmar authorities just wrapped up a three-day crackdown on sketchy trade operations and pulled in contraband worth over 375 million kyat. The haul came from raids across multiple regions where joint task forces nabbed everything from unlicensed motorcycles and fishing boats to dodgy electrical equipment and commercial goods missing paperwork.
The Taninthayi region saw some of the biggest busts, with cops seizing four motorcycles in Kawthoung and Myeik, four fishing boats near Wetkyun, and illegal timber in Dawei. Over in Bago, they caught six passengers at the railway station trying to move electrical goods without documentation. Customs officers at Asia World Port found two types of commercial products hidden in a container, which made up the bulk of the seizure value at around 311 million kyat alone.
