PUTRAJAYA, July 2 — A suspected drug addict was arrested after a three-kilometre chase by the police at Jalan Kita Impian, Cybersouth, in Dengkil yesterday.
Sepang district police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said they had earlier ordered the 29-year-old suspect, at the wheel of a Perodua Bezza, to stop his vehicle after it was spotted in a suspicious manner at 9.30pm, but he sped off.
“A police mobile patrol vehicle (MPV) chased the suspect for about three kilometres before arresting the suspect at about 9.50pm. There was a crash between the car driven by the suspect and the police MPV,” he said in a statement today.
A preliminary investigation found that the suspect had previous records and tested positive for drugs, including methamphetamine and amphetamine.
The case is investigated under Section 186 and Section 279 of the Penal Code, and Kamarul urged the public not to speculate about the incident.
