  "summary": "Two men suspected of stealing cables were arrested by Malaysian police after their car crashed into a drain while attempting to flee from law enforcement in Taman Sri Watan, Ampang, on the morning of the 15th. The incident occurred around 5:53 am when police received a tip-off about a blue Perodua Aruz without registration plates parked along Jalan Watan 8. Upon arrival, police pursued the fleeing vehicle, which ultimately crashed into a drain, leading to the arrest of both men involved. The case is being investigated under several sections of the Penal Code and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. Prior to the arrest, videos of the police operation went viral on social media, showing the suspects being apprehended alongside cables believed to have been targeted for theft.",
