SIBU, Dec 9: Police swooped down on an illegal entertainment centre at Jalan Lau King Howe and arrested 19 individuals on Dec 7.
According to acting Sibu district police chief, Supt Collin Babat at about 12.15am, a police team raided a three-storey shophouse.
“The first floor of the premises has been converted into an entertainment centre which is equipped with a karaoke set, tables, neon light and liquor,” he said.
