Two soldiers nabbed for attempted cattle theft in Jasin
JASIN: Two soldiers were arrested for attempting to steal cattle from a livestock pen in Simpang Bekoh here.
Jasin OCPD Supt Mohamad Rusli Mat said the two confessed to investigation officers that they tried to steal in a bid to sell the animals during the upcoming Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration next month.
"The duo's botched attempt took place at 1am on Saturday (May 24) and was discovered by the owner of the cattle and goat pen after being alerted by a friend.
"The owner's friend alerted the other villagers after seeing one of the suspects entering the pen, which contained 10 cows and 22 goats while the other accomplice was seen waiting in a saloon car nearby," he said on Sunday (May 25).
Supt Mohamad Rusli said several villagers attempted to apprehend the suspects, but they managed to flee the scene.
"The suspects later lost control and crashed into a river barrier. They then surrendered themselves at the Jasin police headquarters at about 2.30pm on Saturday (May 24)," he said.
Supt Mohamad Rusli said preliminary investigations revealed they intended to sell the cattle to meet demand during the festive season in June.
"They also confessed to being involved in a previous case involving the theft of a cow in the same area," he added.

QuickCheck: Was a Selangor toll plaza the site of a brawl?
REPORTS of altercations at toll plazas can quickly grab public attention, especially when they lead to traffic disruptions. Recently, a video surfaced showing a brawl between drivers at a toll plaza. Did this incident really occur at Kuala Langat? Verdict: TRUE A misunderstanding while entering a cash lane led to a brawl involving a four-wheel-drive vehicle and a lorry at the Telok Panglima Garang Toll Plaza in Kuala Langat on Thursday (June 26). The altercation occurred around 6.15pm and involved two local men, each driving one of the vehicles. Kuala Langat OCPD Supt Akmalrizal Radzi explained in a statement on Friday (June 27) that the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding when the driver of a Toyota Hilux allegedly cut in from the left before entering the toll booth's cash lane. This action resulted in a collision with a lorry driven by another individual. "After the collision, the Hilux driver attempted to discuss the matter with the lorry driver, but the latter refused to stop and continued driving," said Supt Akmalrizal, adding that this led to a conflict between the two parties involved. "However, a thorough investigation revealed no serious criminal elements, and both parties agreed to resolve the issue amicably. "The drivers have since provided statements at the Kuala Langat District Police Headquarters," he said. The incident is being investigated by the Traffic Division under Regulation 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 (Regulation 10 LN 166/59). Police have advised the public not to speculate about the incident. References: 1. my/article/735885/berita/ semasa/gaduh-di-plaza-tol- berebut-masuk-lorong-tunai
