“The team had specific information about movement of tactical and war like stores for insurgents based in Myanmar in four Kenbo bikes,” the statement said.
It added: “The team intercepted and searched four kenbo bikes at Niawthlang junction. While carrying out search, the party recovered large number of tactical and war like stores.”
The stores recovered were of military grade and “hence the same being used for anti-national activities against own people, by insurgents based in Myanmar, cannot be ruled out”.
This recovery has prevented the likely loss of precious lives.
The apprehended individuals along with seized materials were handed over to the Siaha police station in Myanmar on Wednesday for further investigation and legal proceedings.
