KUALA LUMPUR – Police have confirmed that the “kidnapping” video that went viral on social media recently is not true; instead, it is a case of suspects fleeing from police inspection in Sepang Putra, Sg Pelek, Sepang, on October 31.
Sepang district police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the Sg Pelek police station received a report of a car driven in a suspicious manner in front of a laundrette in Sepang Putra at about 9.30am, last Tuesday.
He said when approached for inspection, the driver of the car did not cooperate before hitting the police motorcycle parked on the side of the road and fleeing the scene.
“As a result of information and intelligence, police arrested two foreign men in front of a hotel in Taman Semarak 1, Nilai, Negri Sembilan, at about 1pm on the same day,” he said in a statement last night.
He said both men tested positive for methamphetamine, and the case is being investigated under Sections 186 and 427 of the Penal Code for obstructing public servants from carrying out their duties and committing mischief.
Both suspects are remanded until November 18 under the Immigration Act 1959/63.
Recently, a video clip of a grey Honda Civic car, allegedly used in the kidnapping of children in Sepang and Negri Sembilan, was making its rounds on WhatsApp. – November 8, 2023
