MELAKA: Police have called up a newly married couple to assist in investigations in connection with an alleged glue-sniffing incident in a car while a child was in the back seat.

This follows the posting of a video clip on the incident, believed to be taken at 4pm on Friday.

Melaka Tengah district police chief Christopher Patit said the 17-second video showed the husband and wife, aged 33 and 23, allegedly sniffing glue in the car while a four-year-old girl, believed to be the man’s stepdaughter, was in the back seat.

Following that, the Melaka Tengah district traffic enforcement investigation division went to Kampung Bukit Pegoh, Pernu, to meet the vehicle owner at 11pm yesterday and also to inspect the car.

“The driver and passenger of the vehicle were brought to the Melaka Tengah district police station for urine tests, which returned negative,” he said in a statement today.

He said an investigation paper has been opened and the case would be referred to the deputy public prosecutor for further action. - FMT
