IPOH: Police have detained a man believed to be a member of the Mamak gang in Kampung Larut Tin Sambungan near Taiping.
Perak police deputy chief A. Paramasivam said following a public tip-off, a team from the Taiping district police headquarters Criminal Investigations Department conducted a raid on a house and arrested the 31-year-old suspect.
“In the 6pm raid last Thursday, police arrested the suspect who was in the bedroom of the house,” he told reporters after a duty handover ceremony for the new Perak police chief Osman Salleh at the Perak Contingent Police Headquarters meeting room here.
Paramasivam said the suspect, who has a record for luxury vehicle theft, is remanded until Thursday to facilitate investigations.
He said the arrest was the fourth involving members of the Mamak gang.
On December 7, police detained a 50-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, believed to be members of the gang, in a 10.30pm raid at a house on Jalan Kuala Kangsar here.
Another suspect, 37, was nabbed on December 14 after Ops Cantas Khas in Lenggong near Kuala Kangsar, here, at 11.30am when police detected a suspected car.
The Mamak gang, which has long been active, was mostly involved in the robbery of banks and luxury cars.
