UPDATED
SHAH ALAM: Three 08 gang members were arrested by cops in an early morning high-speed chase today.
Initial investigation by police showed that the trio was planning to commit a crime at a restaurant in Subang Perdana at 2.30am.
Selangor Acting Police Chief, A Thaiveegan said the police after a tip-off from the public, sent an MPV patrol unit to the scene.
“Police officers spotted the three suspects in a white Perodua Viva. We ordered them to step out of their vehicle but the driver started reversing his car instead and nearly hit a police officer,” he said.
Thaiveegan then said the suspects sped off to Section 20 in Shah Alam before firing two shots at the police officers but missed.
“Another police MPV from Shah Alam was deployed to assist in the situation. During the chase, one of the suspects fired two shots, which did not hit our men,” he said.
The chase then continued to Taman Sentosa in Klang where the driver of the Perodua Viva crashed into a Toyota Hilux.
According to Thaiveegan, all three suspects immediately escaped on foot but one of the suspects was caught immediately.
“The driver lost control of his car before hitting the Toyota Hilux. They had no choice but to flee on foot. However, my men was fast enough to detain one of them instantly,” Thaiveegan said.
Another suspect was later caught after police found him hiding in a drain not far from the earlier accident scene.
“The other suspect was found hiding in a drain, holding a gun. My men could be easily killed but we managed to avoid any unnecessary incident from happening,” he said.
Police managed to capture the last suspect who was found trying to find his way out of the area at 9.15am.
Checks on the suspects showed that one of the gang members had four previous records while the police seized a Smith & Wesson pistol used during the incident.
“Two of the suspects are now in hospital while another is in police custody. Background checks on the pistol showed that it belonged to a businessman. The owner of the weapon was slashed with a machete and had his gun taken. He has since lodged a police report on Aug 18,” he said.
“My men could have been killed as they had opened fire at us. My men did a splendid job as no one was seriously injured,” Thaiveegan said.
The incident which started at 2.30am, ended at 9.15 am and the police had remanded the trio for further investigation.
