City police chief ACP Lim Meng Seah told a press conference at Miri CPS that 25 suspects were nabbed during this period.
“Those arrested include the eight suspects in connection with Piasau assemblyman (Dato Sebastian Ting)’s house in Tanjong Lobang on Dec 17,” he said, adding that some of the seized items had been identified to belong to Ting, who is also Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) secretary-general.
