Brothers nabbed after 90km high-speed chase in Shah Alam

SHAH ALAM: Two brothers led multiple police cars on a high-speed chase around Shah Alam early this morning. The pair, travelling in a Proton Wira, led six police vehicles on a 90km pursuit before being stopped and apprehended near the Selangor police headquarters. Shah Alam district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that upon arrest, police found a bottle containing a greenish liquid — believed to be ketum juice — inside the vehicle. "The incident began around 1.30am when a patrol car spotted a suspicious blue Proton Wira at the Section 7 commercial centre. "Policemen attempted to stop the vehicle using their siren and loudspeaker, but the driver ignored the instructions and sped off recklessly," he said in a statement today. He added that five other police vehicles joined the chase, which covered approximately 90 kilometres around Shah Alam. "After nearly an hour, police managed to block the car near the entrance of the Selangor police headquarters. "Two men, aged 18 and 24, were arrested at the scene," he said, adding that a search of the vehicle uncovered a bottle containing green liquid, suspected to be ketum juice, hidden under the front passenger seat. Further checks revealed that the older suspect has five prior drug-related offences, while the younger has no criminal record. "The suspects are brothers. "The case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing public servants in the discharge of their duties, which carries a penalty of up to two years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM10,000, or both," said Mohd Iqbal. Police are also investigating the duo under Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act 1952 for possession of ketum, which provides for a fine of up to RM100,000, imprisonment for up to five years, or both, upon conviction. When asked why the suspects had driven toward the Selangor police headquarters, Mohd Iqbal said they had panicked. A remand application for both suspects will be made at the Shah Alam magistrate's court today.

The remand order was issued this morning by magistrate Chia Huey Ting. Earlier, the suspect, was brought to the Balik Pulau Court Complex at around 9.05am. He kept his head down as he walked. It was reported that a man, who broke into a house in Batu Maung yesterday, was caught after he returned to the scene to retrieve items he had left behind.

Upon realising the presence of the TikTok influencer, the suspect fled the scene. However, he later returned to the house to collect belongings he had left behind.
