KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — The police have detained 12 men to assist in investigations into a riot and mischief at an entertainment centre in Cheras on Sunday (April 4).
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said several vehicles believed to have been used in the incident were also seized, including a lorry that was used to ram the premises’ main gate.
All suspects had been arrested, and remand applications had been made to facilitate further investigations.
“So far, 12 male suspects have been arrested, and remand applications have been submitted to enable further investigations to be carried out,” he said in a statement today.
The case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief and Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting.
Fadil added that a media conference on the latest developments is scheduled for 11am tomorrow at the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters.
Earlier, it was reported that a group of masked individuals trespassed into the premises at 1.30pm on April 4 before damaging various items, with a 71-second viral video showing the group acting aggressively and forcing entry after a lorry rammed the main access to the premises.
