A RM15,000 bet was allegedly placed on an illegal motorcycle race that temporarily blocked a section of the Second Link highway in Johor, according to police sources. The incident occurred last Saturday, and the police have identified three suspects who tried to evade arrest during a raid. Three men, aged between 20 and 40, were apprehended early today during a police operation in a Sentul condominium.
The operation was launched following investigations into a viral video that showed the illegal race along the highway. The three suspects were taken to the Kulai traffic police station to help with the investigation. On August 23, eight men, including a motorsport influencer, were previously arrested in connection with the same incident after a 33-second video of the blocked highway went viral on social media.
