KUALA TERENGGANU: Two men suspected of being involved in drug-related crimes were killed in a shootout with the police in Kampung Simpang Tok Ku here this morning.
Terengganu deputy police chief Wan Rukman Wan Hassan said the two suspects, who were in a yellow car, refused to stop when they were flagged down by police at 11.30am during an operation dubbed Ops Kesan by the Terengganu and Bukit Aman criminal investigation departments.
“When our team finally caught up with them, somewhere between Wakaf Beruas and Persimpangan Tok Ku, one of the suspects suddenly fired a shot at the police,” he said when met by reporters at the scene today.
He said this forced police to open fire on the two suspects in the car.
“One of them fled and hid in a nearby empty house. The suspect was urged to surrender himself and when he refused to do so, police barged into the house.
“While in the house, the suspect fired a shot which fortunately hit a barrier and a shootout ensued between the police and the suspect.”
He said the suspect was shot dead in the house while his accomplice was found dead in the vehicle they were travelling in, adding that both were believed to be local men.
In the incident, no policemen were injured. - FMT
