Johor cops nab duo for petrol theft from motorcycles

GELANG PATAH: A Pakistani man and a local woman have been arrested for their alleged involvement in motorcycle petrol theft at an apartment in Tanjung Kupang. Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm M. Kumarasan reported that the suspects were detained following a report lodged by a 28-year-old local woman. "In her police report, the woman stated that the incident occurred on Monday (Aug 11) at 7.30am in the parking lot of the apartment building," he said in a statement. The woman and her 29-year-old husband then discovered the male suspect siphoning petrol from their motorcycle. ACP Kumarasan noted that when confronted, the 38-year-old Pakistani man, accompanied by a 60-year-old woman, denied committing the theft. "Both suspects were detained with assistance from the apartment auxiliary police," he said, adding that policemen from the Tanjung Kupang police station arrested the duo upon arrival at the scene at 11am. Initial investigations revealed that the suspects had no previous criminal records and tested negative for drugs. Police seized two bottles of petrol and a pair of scissors, and the suspects will be brought to the Johor Baru court on Tuesday (Aug 12) for remand orders. ACP Kumarasan stated that the case is being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code and Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63. A two-minute and 19-second video of the motorcycle petrol theft was uploaded to the Facebook account of "Si Solihin."
