Petaling Jaya police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal has confirmed that the wanted man “Bob Mah Sing” was arrested last night and will be jointly remanded along with the driver of a car seen ramming into other vehicles to avoid capture by the police.

In a statement today, Nik Ezanee said the man has 14 drug-related records and six criminal records.

“He was caught at about 11.45pm yesterday at an apartment in Seksyen U5, Shah Alam.

“This morning we will apply for a remand order for both men,” said Nik Ezanee said.

Bob Mah Sing is 40 years old and unemployed, he added. The 35-year-old driver of the car was arrested in the Desa Aman residential area yesterday.

It is understood that the duo will be investigated under section 307, 427 and 188 of the Penal Code, Section 12(2) of the Dangerous Drug Act 1952 and Section 6(1) of the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1958.

Earlier, Bernama reported that police were hunting a man known as Bob Mah Sing, who along with his friend crashed into several vehicles to evade police, on suspicion of carrying heroin near Sungai Buloh.

The incident began with Gombak District patrol officers chasing the car ridden by the two men from Kampung Desa Aman towards the Sierramas roundabout, Sungai Buloh at about 12.45pm yesterday.

When they arrived at the traffic light near the Sierramas roundabout, the two suspects refused to get out of the car and rammed into several vehicles to escape before crashing into a police patrol car.

Police fired shots at both the front tyres of the suspects’ car but they fled towards Sungai Buloh and left the vehicle by the roadside because the tyres were punctured.

Nik Ezanee said the forensic and the tracking dog unit detected heroin weighing approximately 1.7 grams in the vehicle left behind by the suspects.

A video went viral on social media showing the police personnel firing shots at the suspects’ car tyres when they rammed into other vehicles in an attempt to escape police inspection.
