PUTRAJAYA:

 A police car chase in the KLIA area yesterday led to the arrest of a local man with a criminal record of 31 offences.

KLIA police chief M Ravi said mobile patrol vehicle personnel conducting crime prevention patrols around the KLIA area attempted to stop a red Honda Civic, but the driver refused to pull over for inspection.

“The driver attempted to flee towards the KLIA terminal at Level 3, ramming five public vehicles along the route before being successfully apprehended near the scene,” he said in a statement on the 4.30pm incident.

Checks revealed the 30-year-old’s record as well as one drug-related offence for which he is still wanted by the police.

Ravi said the case is being investigated under Sections 186 and 427 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of duties and committing mischief, as well as Section 15(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and for related traffic offences.

The suspect will be brought before the Sepang court today for a remand application.
