Theatre actors detained in sedition probe on 2018 play 'mocking' Rukun Negara
Police say the suspects have since been released on bail.
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 — Bukit Aman has refuted online claims that a Mobile Patrol Vehicle escorted a suspected stolen cable vehicle in Kampung Tasik Tambahan, Ampang, last Saturday. Director Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin stated that police had arrested a cable theft suspect and dismissed allegations of collusion between the police vehicle and the thieves.
According to Noor Hisam, the MPV's actions were based on information from the Ampang Jaya district police headquarters operations room and adhered to standard operating procedures while on duty. The police vehicle activated its beacon lights as per protocol during the incident. Noor Hisam explained that the MPV's response was due to a public complaint.
One suspect had been arrested so far. CCTV footage from a nearby house went viral on social media platforms, causing speculation about the police vehicle's presence and actions during the event. Noor Hisam clarified these claims in response to the viral footage.
