The operation includes area searches, demolition of illegal buildings, and destruction of evidence.

No suspects were apprehended, but the criminals fled with mobile phones and other valuables.

  Since November 18th, 140 illegal buildings involved in fraud have been identified in Shwe Kokko. Following the seizure of 18 more buildings yesterday, the total number of buildings seized and confiscated in the area has reached 119, effectively preventing their re-use for criminal activities.
