SUBANG JAYA, 3 June 2025 : The Subang Jaya District Police have disposed of over RM1.4 million worth of items seized from criminal activities, ranging from illegal gambling and contraband to electricity theft operations linked to Bitcoin mining.

The disposal exercise, held at the district police headquarters this afternoon, involved evidence from 635 concluded criminal cases spanning as far back as 2004. Among the key items destroyed were hundreds of computers and phones used in illegal gambling, large stashes of contraband cigarettes and liquor, and mining machines powered by stolen electricity.

“This operation marks the successful conclusion of investigations into a wide range of cases that have been prosecuted and resulted in convictions,” said Supt Mohd Fairus bin Jaafar, Deputy District Police Chief of Subang Jaya.

Selangor deputy police chief Zaini Abu Hassan was present at the ceremony which was also witnessed by Shah Alam Magistrate Mohamad Redza Azhar Rezali.

A breakdown of the seized items includes:

  • 548 computers, laptops, and mobile phones linked to gambling operations (RM582,400)
