SEPANG: Police are investigating a series of incidents where nails have been scattered along the left off-ramp of the Cybersouth flyover, a dangerous act that could potentially cause accidents. District police chief assistant commissioner Norhizam Bahaman reported the first incident on July 15 and has been monitoring the area since then.
The complainant stated that more nails have been scattered, and police are trying to locate the person responsible. No perpetrator was found during surveillance checks. Norhizam called on anyone with information to come forward. The act is deemed dangerous as it occurs at a bend, and it falls under Section 268 of the Penal Code.
Several social media users have shared photos and videos of the incident, claiming nails about two inches long have been scattered since June. Additionally, police are investigating alleged early-morning motorcycle racing activities in the Salak Perdana area, which has been disturbing residents, and possible use of vapes containing harmful substances.
The motorcycle-related case will be investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless or dangerous driving endangering other road users.
