Two ex-convicts, aged 26 and 27, have been rearrested in Johor for their involvement in 11 criminal cases, including housebreaking, robbery, and theft. The suspects, who were released from Pokok Sena Prison in Kedah in 2023, were apprehended in Tanjung Kupang and Kangkar Pulai areas on September 5, following a police report lodged on September 4 regarding a break-in at Forest City Starview in Gelang Patah.

Initial investigations revealed that the duo targeted unoccupied homes and postal parcels, including disposable diapers, and were responsible for a robbery at a data centre construction site in Gelang Patah. The suspects, who tested positive for methamphetamine, have been remanded until Friday to assist with investigations.
