Police have today arrested a food delivery rider over a series of sexual assaults at Tamarind Square business park in Cyberjaya.
Sepang district police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the 20-year-old suspect was picked up this afternoon by a team that was assigned to hunt the perpetrator.
"I have just been informed that our team has arrested the suspect, he is now in police custody," the senior officer told the media in a WhatsApp group.
Kamarul Azran said the police managed to track down the suspect based on closed-circuit television recordings they acquired from the management of the business park.
"The recordings showed that the suspect had ridden a Yamaha Lagenda motorcycle to Tamarind Square. He had parked the motorcycle at the basement-level parking lot before continuing on foot.
"Based on the information received, it was established that the suspect is a food delivery rider.
"A police team then headed to an address at Taman Putra Perdana in Puchong, where they arrested the suspect and seized several pieces of evidence," he said.
The district police chief added that the suspect has allegedly confessed that he was responsible for the recent sexual assaults at the business park.
Earlier today, the district police chief informed reporters that police had launched a manhunt for a man who molested several women at the business park yesterday.
According to police reports received from victims, two women had been molested in separate incidents at the business park just 15 minutes apart.
In the first incident at about 2pm, the perpetrator, reported to be clad in dark clothing, had groped a 27-year-old personal assistant on the third floor of the premises' parking lot as she was about to put her stuff in her car.
The second incident was reported to have happened at 2.15pm, involving a 34-year-old woman. The victim was waiting for an elevator at Level 2 of Block A Tamarind Square when the suspect hugged her from behind and molested her.
Kamarul Azran added that the police had acquired closed-circuit television recordings from the premises, and they believed that the two attacks were committed by the same individual.
Police also suspected the man to be the same culprit responsible for a similar attack at the business park in December last year.
The authority is expected to hold an identification line-up and will call all the victims involved. - Mkini
