BAU: Four locals were nabbed for being involved in illegal cockfighting at Jalan Kampung Sungai Pinang, Siniawan last Sunday (Dec 13).
District police chief DSP Poge Nyaon said a CID team carried out the raid around 2pm and found the suspects in an open space behind a house at the site.
“All of them, aged between 24 and 43, were arrested. The team managed to confiscate a live rooster, a dead rooster, five single-edged spurs and cash,” he said.
The men were later brought to the police station for further actions. Further background checks found that all of them did not have past records.
The case is being investigated under Section 3(1) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1962 where if convicted, the suspects can be fined RM1,000 or be jailed for three months.
