Police say two of the suspects were recently released from prison after serving sentences for the same offence.
Nine individuals have been apprehended in connection with grave desecration incidents in Miri, Malaysia, as revealed by Sarawak acting police commissioner Saifullizan Ishak.

These individuals reportedly recruited others to participate in grave desecration activities. The police operation, spanning three weeks, led to the resolution of 15 previously reported cases in Miri district. Items such as hammers, screwdrivers, and jewelry were seized during the investigation. The suspects, aged between 16 and 73, are currently being investigated under Section 297 of the Penal Code for trespassing on burial sites and related offenses.
