KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah immigration department has busted a syndicate specialising in forging identification documents with the arrest of six people.

Sabah immigration department director Sh Sitti Saleha Habib Yussof said the suspects were rounded up during raids conducted over two days under Ops Serkap, which ended yesterday.

She said the identities of the six, including three women, aged 24 to 59, were still being determined.

The arrests were made following a raid by six Sabah immigration intelligence unit members on an unnumbered house at Kampung Sembulan Lama.

“During the raid, we found three men and two women who were in possession of suspected fake entry permits.

“We confiscated 28 entry permit documents, along with forgeries of documents relating to the payment of entry permits and IMM13 applications.”

She said interrogation led to another raid at the Riverside Sembulan area at 1pm yesterday and the arrest of another woman.

The raiding team found other suspected fake documents and seized RM744 in cash on her.

The woman suspect then provided information about a house around Kuala Menggatal, which was also raided. More fake immigration documents were seized there.

Sh Sitti Saleha said the department believed the syndicate had been operating since April 2022 and had made a profit of between RM60,000 and RM100,000.

“We are now tracking another individual related to the case, who is believed to be in West Malaysia.

“We are also checking if this case is related to previous cases in Sabah,” she said. - FMT
