KUALA LUMPUR: A man was detained after the car he and his two friends were travelling in rammed into a police roadblock at Km13.2 of the Middle Ring Road 2, Batu Caves, near here, yesterday.
Gombak police chief ACP Arifai Tarawe said the Perodua Alza driven by the suspect in the 2am incident had appeared suspicious.
He said the driver evaded the roadblock and fled towards the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway.
“The vehicle went out of control at the Gombak toll plaza, hit the toll gate barrier and sped off towards Bentong.
“At the Km23.6, the car went out of control again and collided into the divider at Bentong before the three suspects escaped and fled on foot into the nearby jungle,” he said in a statement last night.
He said one of suspects, aged 21, was arrested at about 5pm at Old Klang Road here, and that investigations found he had 20 previous criminal records connected to criminal activities and drugs.
Police are tracking down the other two suspects. The case is being investigated under Sections 186 and 279 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 22 (b) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988.
Meanwhile, in a separate case, three men were arrested for the possession of house-breaking equipment at a roadblock in Jalan Utama Indah Perdana, Kepong, yesterday morning.
Arifai said the suspects, aged between 32 and 42, were remanded for four days until Thursday. The offence is being investigated under Section 28 (i) of the Minor Offences Act 1955 and Regulation 7 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease (Measures Within the Infected Local Areas). - FMT
