SHAH ALAM, Jan 3 — Police are tracking down those involved in throwing stones from the Seri Cheeding bridge along the West Coast Expressway (WCE), which damaged a vehicle on Thursday.
Kuala Langat police chief Mohd Akmalrizal Radzi said a report on the incident was received at 3.22pm yesterday from an officer on routine patrol on the WCE.
He said the 32-year-old complainant received information from the Selangor WCE Patrol group, and the incident resulted in damage to the vehicle involved.
No injuries were reported.
“The purpose of the report was to request that police increase patrol frequency in the area.
“The case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum sentence of two years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction,” Akmalrizal said in a statement today.
People with information on the case have been urged to visit their local police station or contact the operations room at 03-3187 2222 to assist in the investigation.
Earlier, a viral video showed a vehicle with damage to its windscreen and bonnet, believed to have been caused by stones thrown by unidentified individuals along the WCE.
Meanwhile, in a separate case, North Klang police chief Vijaya Rao Samachulu said police had remanded two local men for five days until January 6 for their alleged involvement in a housebreaking along Jalan Pekan Baru, Taman Eng Ann, Klang, early yesterday.
“Police received a report of a housebreaking incident at 3.15am from a local woman who claimed to have heard suspicious noises before seeing the gate of her neighbour’s house being forced open.
“Following the information, a team of officers was dispatched to the location and successfully arrested two local suspects who attempted to flee through the back door,” Vijaya said in a statement today.
