District police chief Supt Aidil Bolhassan said the disposal involved various cigarettes, liquor and beer from nine cases recorded in the jurisdiction of Padawan police headquarters.
“Three of nine cases have been placed in no further action (NFA) by the court while the remaining are still being investigated under Section 135(1)(d) of the Customs Act 1967.
“However, we have obtained instructions from Kuching Magistrate’s Court on Nov 16 to dispose of the items, given the limited storage of case items,” he told.

All case items were taken to the landfill at 11am and were destroyed by heavy machinery.
