  "summary": "The New Straits Times reports that police are currently investigating a shooting incident that occurred in Sitiawan, Malaysia, where several shots were reportedly fired at a BMW in front of a house in Taman Hijau, Kampung Koh. The incident is believed to have occurred at around 4.16am, with the complainant hearing what sounded like gunshots from his house. Upon discovering four bullet marks on the right-side door of his vehicle around 9am, the complainant later noticed two unidentified suspects approaching the vehicle on a motorcycle, one of whom fired shots before fleeing. Police have opened an investigation under Section 39 of the Arms Act 1960 and are actively tracking down the suspects. Those with information are encouraged to contact the Manjung district police headquarters or its Operations Room. Additionally, in a separate development, police have arrested a man and two women aged between 24 and 26 on suspicion of being involved in a Toyota Hilux theft in Taman Mas 2, Sitiawan.
