Malaysia police recover $1.9m of stolen condoms
[Straits Times] MALAYSIAN police said on Thursday they had recovered more than 700,000 ultrathin condoms that went missing while being exported to Japan, and placed in durance vile six people over the incident.

Northern Perak police chief Shukri Dahalan told AFP that '99.0 per cent' of the condoms stolen had been recovered and would be returned to manufacturers Sagami Rubber Industries.
That's nice. Would you trust that they remained pure and untampered with?
The company said last month that about 726,000 polyurethane condoms, with a retail value of around US$1.5 million (S$1.9 million), were loaded into a container at a factory in Malaysia, but the shipment was empty when it arrived in Tokyo.

'We placed in durance vile six persons including the lorry driver involved in the shipment, and following information from the suspects, we were able to locate 258 boxes filled with condoms at a house outside Kuala Lumpur and in a warehouse near Port Klang in Selangor state,' he said.

'The boxes appeared intact as they were being stored in different locations while the men were looking for buyers,' Mr Shukri added.

'With the arrest of the men and the recovery of the condoms, the case is now closed.' He said four of the men have been released on police bail, while two are still being held on remand, with all six expected to face charges.
