GEORGE TOWN: The police have arrested four men in connection with the discovery of a paper bag containing four home-made bombs at a house in Jalan Badak Mati, Sungai Bakap, near here last Saturday.
Penang CID chief Mazlan Kesah said the four men, aged between 24 and 43, were arrested at a shophouse in Jalan Seri Aman, Sungai Bakap, at 2.45pm on Tuesday.
“Based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage obtained from a nearby shop, the fingerprints on the package and statements by several parties, the police tracked the four men to the shophouse.
“Following their arrest, the police found items believed to be used in producing home-made bombs as well as various kinds of drugs at the shophouse.
The police do not rule out the possibility that they may also be members of a drug syndicate,” he told reporters here today.
Last Saturday, a resident found a paper bag containing four home-made bombs at a house near a store. Three of the bombs were detonated by the Bomb Disposal Unit while one was taken to the Penang Police headquarters for investigation.
Mazlan said the police believed that with the arrest of the four men, who did not hold permanent jobs and had past criminal records, they could solve the case.
