Halloween party at unlicensed entertainment outlet ends with eight arrests
KUALA LUMPUR: Eight men, including six foreigners, were arrested when police raided an unlicensed entertainment outlet hosting a Halloween party along Jalan Tun Razak early today.
Eight men, including six foreigners, were arrested during a police raid on an unlicensed entertainment outlet hosting a Halloween party in Kuala Lumpur. The raid, conducted between 2am and 5am, was part of Operation Noda and involved officers from the Wangsa Maju police headquarters' Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division and Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the premises had been operating without a valid entertainment licence, and the outlet was found to be decorated with Halloween-themed props and hosting loud music and alcoholic drinks. Eight men aged between 21 and 40 were detained, including a local man working as the outlet's cashier and two Bangladeshis, two Myanmar citizens, and two Chinese citizens.
Police seized various audio equipment and liquor worth over RM2,100, and an incident occurred during the raid where a suspect allegedly obstructed civil servants from carrying out their duties. All suspects and seized items were taken to the Wangsa Maju police headquarters for further investigation under multiple acts and regulations.
