KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested two women for a series of offences that started with them crashing their car through a police roadblock in the early morning hours today.

The women, who were later found to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs, crashed their car through a police roadblock on the Federal Highway and one of them punched a policeman as they were being apprehended after a chase.

The incident started at about 3am as the women, in their 20s, were travelling from the federal capital to Petaling Jaya in Selangor, the Petaling Jaya district police chief Mohamad Fakhruddin Abdul Hamid said.

“The women did not slow down the car nor did they stop at the roadblock. Instead, they crashed through it and sped off.

“Policemen in a patrol MPV caught up with them at Jalan Universiti in Petaling Jaya,” he said in a statement.

He added that the woman who was driving the car became aggressive and punched one of the policemen who had approached them.

Fakhruddin said the women were arrested and have been remanded for two days from today, to assist in the investigation that covers their actions in crashing through the roadblock, assaulting a policeman, not complying with SOPs under the lockdown, and drug abuse.

The women had also tested positive for alcohol and ganja, he said. - FMT
