Police are probing the unauthorized removal of several residents from a privately owned drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre in Bukit Kuda, Klang. According to North Klang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ramsay Embol, the incident occurred after a group of men and women entered the premises and took the residents away without the management's permission.

The owner of the rehabilitation centre reported the incident to the police on October 28. The number of residents taken remains under investigation. The case is being treated as criminal trespass under Section 447 of the Penal Code, with a potential maximum sentence of six months in jail, a fine of up to RM3,000, or both upon conviction.

Authorities have requested the public to refrain from speculating about the incident, emphasizing that such speculation could interfere with the police investigation. Those with information are encouraged to contact the North Klang District Police Headquarters, any nearby police station, or the investigating officer Sergeant Amirul Ashraf Abd Rahim.
