Police car didn’t act as escort for cable thief, says Bukit Aman
Cops reject claims on social media a mobile patrol vehicle had escorted another vehicle carrying stolen cables.
A police car in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur was not used as an escort for a vehicle carrying stolen cables, according to the police. Noor Hisam Nordin, the Crime Prevention and Community Safety Director at Bukit Aman, denied allegations of collusion between the police and the thieves. He clarified that the patrol vehicle responded to public complaints and followed standard operating procedures by turning on its beacon.
The cable thief was arrested based on information from the Ampang Jaya police headquarters' operations room. The incident occurred when a man tried to pull a cable from a manhole using a four-wheel-drive vehicle at Kampung Tasik Tambahan around 3:59 am. The case is being investigated under various penal laws.
