SEPANG, Jan 2 — An 18-year-old, wanted by the Perak police for motorcycle theft, was arrested during a road operation on Tuesday (December 31).
Sepang police chief ACP Norhizam Bahaman said the teenager from Teluk Intan was detained at a roadblock in Cyberjaya while riding a Yamaha LC 135. He claimed he was in the area to look for work.
“Upon inspection, officers discovered the motorcycle had a fake registration number. The teenager was handed over to the Perak police for further investigation,” he told the press today.
The four-hour operation, part of "Op Ambang Tahun Baharu," began at 10pm with 141 personnel involved. The police issued 56 traffic summonses for violations including driving without a licence and failure to wear seat belts.
A total of 475 individuals and 394 vehicles were inspected during the roadblocks at nine locations in Sepang.
Separately, Norhizam confirmed that a 36-year-old local man reported missing on November 12 has safely returned home. Investigations revealed no signs of kidnapping.
The man, who had gone missing due to work-related stress, returned on December 22, saying that he had driven aimlessly through Johor, Pahang, Kelantan, and Terengganu before returning home.
