Senior Assistant Commissioner of Armed Police Battalion (APBn) said Warid, a mobile phone operator, imported the spare parts from Malaysia few days ago, but it wanted to return the goods due to defects. When the customs were sending the goods to Biman through a clearing and forwarding agency yesterday, the driver tried to steal them, he added.
