KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): A collapsing ceiling trapped two Malaysian copyright pirates when enforcement officers raided a storeroom, reports said Sunday.

The Star newspaper said the officers noticed a ceiling panel bulging and about to cave in. When they checked they found that more than 20,000 video compact discs had been hastily hidden there.

The value of the pirated VCDs, seized Friday in the southern city of Johor Baru, was put at almost 118,000 ringgit ($31,052). Two people were detained.
